Most people do not ever pick up the phone. They never ask, and that is what separates the people that do things from the people that just dream about them. You have to act, and you have to be willing to fail. You have to be willing to crash and burn, because if you are afraid of failing, you will not get very far.

The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.

Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
