“If there is an effect in your life that you want more of, you merely need to trace it back to the causes and

“If you envy successful people, you create a negative force field of attraction
that repels you from ever doing the things that you need to do to be successful.

that draws you toward becoming more and more like the kinds of people that
you want to be like.”

“The fact is that your productivity begins to decline after eight or nine hours of work. For this reason, working long hours into the night, although it is sometimes necessary, means that you are usually producing less and less in more and more time. The more tired you become, the worse the quality of your work will be and the more mistakes you will make. At a certain point, you can reach “the wall” and simply be unable to continue, like a battery that is run down.”
