No excuses: the power of self discipline
Brian-Tracy
You don’t need to have been born under a lucky star, or with incredible wealth, or with terrific contacts and connections, or even special skills...but what you do need to succeed in any of your life goals is self-discipline. Unfortunately, most people give in to the two worst enemies of success: they take the path of least resistance (in other words, they’re lazy) and/or they want immediate gratification: they don’t consider the long-term consequences of the actions they take today.No Excuses! shows you how you can achieve success in all three major areas of your life: 1. Your personal goals. 2. Your business and money goals. 3. Your overall happiness. Each of the 21 chapters in this book shows you how to be more disciplined in one aspect of your life, with end-of-chapter exercises to help you apply the “no excuses” approach to your own life. With these guidelines, you can learn how to be more successful in everything you do—instead of wistfully envying others who you think are just “luckier” than you. A little self-discipline goes a long way...so stop making excuses and read this book!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That's approaching evil.
Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?
Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.
Finance is not merely about making money. It's about achieving our deep goals and protecting the fruits of our labor. It's about stewardship and, therefore, about achieving the good society.
I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk half an hour with the man who wrote it.
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.
It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.
