"The best way to become a true boss is to recognize that you are your best and only subordinate." 

It is through controlling your own self that you stand any chance of gaining the reliability of others.

Self-trust and personal reliability are the most empowering disciplines that anyone can have; they free you from having to rely on others and make you the master of your own destination.

By first disciplining yourself and leading by example, you create an environment where others want to follow you and therefore rely upon you. Thus, your self-reliance makes you the real boss and positions you for stress-free predictable success.

"Difficulties are workouts to keep you fit so that you can prevail in the real battles of life."

Highly successful people look at difficulties as challenges and opportunities. With this mindset, difficulties present opportunities to upgrade your skills and knowledge so that you are more capable of adding value to your society. And in this way, they prepare you to face the real battles in life.

Difficulties are similar to the stress and resistance you face when working out or lifting weights. After the initial pain, your body is able to get stronger and become more fit.

It is only when you see difficulties as opportunities, rather than stresses, that these difficulties empower you, keep you fit, and help you to relieve future stresses.
