Harvey Mackay quotes about
success effort lessons
The truth is, success often occurs for reasons we don't expect, under circumstances over which we have little control and sometimes unrelated to our own efforts. There is only one other lesson that success should teach us: Be as amazed by your own success as your friends are. If you truly are, you stand the best chance to repeat it.
leadership years people
It all comes down to this: If you want one year of happiness, grow grain If you want 10 years of happiness, grow trees If you want 100 years of happiness, grow people
failure failing plans
Failures don't plan to fail; they fail to plan.
leadership troops looks
Good commanders look after their troops, and good troops look after their commanders.
rooms chandeliers
Never buy anything in a room with a chandelier.
news bad-news good-news
You'll always get the good news; it's how fast you get the bad news that counts.
used
Knowledge is not power unless it is used.
bored scared better-off
You're a lot better off being scared than being bored.
nice guy broke
If you can't say yes, it's no. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't talk yourself into yes just to seem like a nice guy. No one ever went broke because he or she said "NO" too often.
levels rewards fields
Life isn't fair. It's true, and you still have to deal with it. Whining about it rarely levels the playing field, but learning to rise above it is the ultimate reward.
advice free freely receiver sees
When advice is freely given, the receiver is free to use it as he or she sees fit.
concern followed given refrain saying secret whether
Never forget, the real secret of giving advice is this: Once you've given it, don't concern yourself with whether it is followed or not, and refrain from saying 'I told you so.'
names people skill
If you want people to know how much you care, show them how much you remember. Learn their names and use them often. It's an important skill to develop.
afford choosy extremely
The service leaders hire one out of 50 applicants, sometimes one out of 100, but they're very, very careful. You can't afford not to be extremely choosy when you hire.
