25. If you are going to be successful, you have to start hanging out with the successful people.

You need to ask them to share their success strategies with you. Then try them on and see if they fit for you.

Experiment with doing what they do, reading what they read, thinking the way they think, and so on.

If the new ways of thinking and behaving work, adopt them.

If not, drop them, and keep looking and experimenting. — Jack Canfield

26. Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy.

If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy.
