Most people fail to realize that in life, it’s not how much money you make, it’s how much money you keep.

Work on interpersonal and persuasion skills. If you can master the art of selling a product, you will find yourself in a sea of opportunities waiting to be grabbed. Invent money, discover new ways, don't be stricken by the stereotypes because there is always way.

Treat all your jobs as a learning platform for yourself. Don't make your life about earning bread and butter, strengthen the will to grow and prepare yourself to endure, because it is hard but so much worth it.

Quite often, people who build big businesses don't believe anyone else can run them, and you end up with an old rascal in their 70s and no one to take them on. I could name several - and I won't - who put themselves in that invidious position.

People first concern themselves with meeting their basic needs; only afterwards, do they pursue any higher needs.

In my closet, you'd find five black shirts that look the same, 10 pairs of the same white pants, and five pairs of almost the exact same shoe. Every time I go out, I buy shoes that are very similar to my other shoes - it's a problem.

There are plenty of millionaires who would pay millions to hang a Van Gogh painting on the wall, but hardly one that would have ever had the crazy nut over for dinner.
