Charles J. Givens

To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.

Success requires first expending ten units of effort to produce one unit of results. Your momentum will then produce ten units of results with each unit of effort.

Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.

Most people don't know what they spend in every single area, but they know they have a problem in particular areas.

You have to have really wide reading habits and pay attention to the news and just everything that's going on in the world: you need to. If you get this right, then the writing is a piece of cake.

Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.
