Denis Waitley Quotations Responsibility: A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make. Friendship: A smile is the light in your window that tells others that there is a caring, sharing person inside. Problem Solving: Dont dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer. Overcoming Failure: Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. Overcoming Failure: Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success. Overcoming Failure: When you make a mistake or get ridiculed or rejected, look at mistakes as learning experiences, and ridicule as ignorance. Look at rejection as part of one performance, not as a turn down of the performer. Life: View life as a continuous learning experience.
