You attract what you reflect. To find quality, be quality.

Power or Money: Which is Better? Power is Tricky: Having power means you have to be very responsible. - If you use power on others, they might not like you. - If you don't use your power, people might think you're not doing your job. Why People Want Power Some people want power to make money, scare their enemies, or be famous. But if they lose their power, they also lose their money and respect. Money Can Be Better Money earned the right way can make you happy and give you peace. Money is usually safer than power. Who Looks for Power? Power often attracts those from less affluent backgrounds looking to carve out a place for themselves or who see it as a shortcut to importance. Wealthy individuals might not pursue power as aggressively, having already found their contentment in life's pleasures. What I Would Choose If I had to choose, I'd pick money earned in a good way over power. Money is safer and makes life easier.

Talk less, listen more. Your silence speaks volumes. Let them underestimate you.

Respect is earned, not freely given. A man gains honor through his actions, not his words. Hence, Actions are your currency, Integrity is your wealth.

A lot of success in life boils down to whether you can handle long periods of time alone undistracted, focused and diligently working on your long-term goals.

Stop chasing approval. Set your default expectation as not being liked by everyone. Embrace it and find peace. When someone does like you, it's a bonus, not a necessity. Caring about being liked isn't a universal need for men. Respect over popularity. Competence and ruthlessness earn respect; approval is a byproduct.

You will be free when you understand that the cage where you live is made of thoughts.

Don't laugh if you don't find something funny. Most men do it to please others and get their validation. You're not most men.

Your work ethic is how you prove to God that you are worthy of the things you wish for. Read that again…
