- "How can I create value for others?". Be passionate aboute creating value for others. "When you give value to others authentically, you're actually bringing value to yourself." - Maha Abouelenein
- Self-discipline is freedom! Discipline today, success tomorrow!
- The only way to live is in the service of others. You will never find yourself if you are only focused on serving yourself - you will live an empty life without meaning.
- Be passionate about your work/career/business. It is your work/career/business which brings you the wealth/opportunity to follow your passions (and if you're really lucky, your work/career/business is your passion.)
