Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.
You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.
We don't have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.
I was lucky to have the right heroes. Tell me who your heroes are and I'll tell you how you'll turn out to be. The qualities of the one you admire are the traits that you, with a little practice, can make your own, and that, if practiced, will become habit forming.
