You can have more than you've got because you can become more than you are.
Unless you change how you are, you'll always have what you got.
Income does not far exceed personal development.
Success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person through personal development.
The major question to ask on the job is not what you are getting but what you are becoming.
True happiness is contained in what you become, not what you get.
