Trump on Trump: Quotes from “The Donald,” Part II

Written by: suzanne rodriguez 465 views

More tips for success from the eminently quotable Mr. Trump:

16. I’m a busy guy but I set aside quiet time every morning and every evening to keep my equilibrium centered on my own path. I don’t like being swayed by anything that might be negative or damaging.

17. Every day you’ll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net. Sure, it’s a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone—in my case, business suits and real estate. But sometimes you have to take risks. When the risks pay off, that’s when you reap the biggest rewards.

18. Take the pains required to become what you want to become, or you might end up becoming something you’d rather not be. That is also a daily discipline and worth considering.

19. What matters is where you want to go. Focus in the right direction!

20. The old saying that “success breeds success” has something to it. It’s that feeling of confidence that can banish negativity and procrastination and get you going the right way.

21. Get in, get it done, get it done right, and get out.

22. I learned a lot about discipline and about channeling my aggression into achievement.

23. I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because—much more often than you’d think—sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

24. My style of deal-making is quite simple and straightforward. I aim very high, and then I just keep pushing and pushing and pushing to get what I’m after. Sometimes I settle for less than I sought, but in most cases I still end up with what I want.

25. You can’t be scared. You do your thing, you hold your ground, you stand up tall, and whatever happens, happens.

26. My experience is that if you’re fighting for something you believe in—even if it means alienating some people along the way—things usually work out for the best in the end.

27. The most important thing in life is to love what you’re doing, because that’s the only way you’ll ever be really good at it.

28. Other people paint beautifully on canvas or write wonderful poetry. I like making deals, preferably big deals.

29. Most people think small because most people are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning. And that gives people like me a great advantage.

30. If you don’t tell people about your success, they probably won’t know about it.

31. Sometimes it pays to be a little wild.
