1. The world belongs to the energetic.

2. Micromanage the solution to the bottleneck and focus on that.

3. If you are diligent for a day, you will sleep comfortably for a night. If you are diligent for a month, the quality of your life will noticeably improve. If you are diligent for a year, two years, 10 years, your whole life—your accomplishments will be recognized by all. The diligent lead lives 100 times more productive than the lazy.

4. Other than thinking about how to develop and grow my business, I’m actually not very interested in anything else. 

5. Time is the capital that must be managed most wisely.

6. Credibility grows like a tree. 

7. We learned that we do our best work in cycles of intense effort followed by short breaks.

8. Half measures, compromises, cutting corners, or “being realistic” do not exist in my world. 

9. All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow. The task of breaking a bad habit is like uprooting a powerful oak within us. And the task of building a good one is like cultivating a delicate flower one day at a time.

10. Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

11. Stress + rest = growth

12. Forget about setting goals. Focus on your system instead.

13. Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity. This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change. Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That’s the paradox of making small improvements.

15. The battle does not end when you win. The battle only ends when you get lazy, when you lose your sense of commitment, and when you stop paying attention.

- **Writing:** The battle does not end when you publish a book. It ends when you consider yourself a finished product, when you lose the vigilance needed to continue improving your craft.

* **Fitness:** The battle does not end when you hit a PR. It ends when you lose concentration and skip workouts or when you lose perspective and overtrain.

* **Entrepreneurship:** The battle does not end when you make a big sale. It ends when you get cocky and complacent.

16. After winning the battle, tighten your helmet.

17. The enemy of improvement is neither failure nor success. The enemy of improvement is boredom, fatigue, and lack of concentration. The enemy of improvement is a lack of commitment to the process because the process is everything.

18. “All things come from the Earth”.

19. The art of progress is the preservation of order in change and of change in order.

20. Without a focus, everything becomes a distraction.

21. When you think something's impossible, consider this: people who achieve extraordinary things are willing to endure what others won't.

22. The most important lessons here — especially for young people — is that even if you’re shooting for the stars, you’re going to spend most of your time on a plateau. That’s where the deepest, most lasting learning takes place, so you might as well enjoy it. When I was first learning…I just assumed that I would steadily improve. My first plateau was something of a shock and disappointment, but I persevered and finally experienced an apparent spurt of learning. The next time my outward progress stopped, I said to myself ‘oh damn, another plateau’. After a few months, there was another spurt of progress and then, of course, the inevitable plateau. This time, something marvellous happened. I found myself thinking ‘Oh boy, another plateau. Good, if I stay on it and keep practicing, I’m absolutely assured another surge of progress. It was one of the best and warmest moments of my life.

23. Energy is the currency of life itself. It flows through every atom, every cell, every dream and aspiration that has ever moved humanity forward. Those who harness this force – who cultivate it, channel it, and express it through their actions – are the ones who shape the destiny of our species. They are the architects of progress, the catalysts of change, the dreamers who dare to transform imagination into reality.

24. Every day needs to be a journey towards growth. If we pause today, it is a step backward. We must move forward even if it means only one or two steps at a time.
