You have to practice success. Success doesn't just show up. If you aren't practicing success today, you won't wake up in 20 years and be successful, because you won't have developed the habits of success, which are small things like finishing what you start, putting a lot of effort into everything you do, being on time, treating people well.

Always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody says distract you from your goals.

---

Every girl, no matter where she lives, deserves the opportunity to develop the promise inside of her.

---

Do not die in the history of your past hurts and past experiences, but live in the now and future of your destiny.

We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.

---

You can't make decisions based on fear and the possibility of what might happen.

---

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.

---

Value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect.

Cute's good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it's, 'Who are you as a person?' Look at the heart. Look at the soul. Look at how the guy treats his mother and what he says about women. How he acts with children he doesn't know. And, more important, how does he treat you?

Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you
