Never allow others to define your reputation; take control of it to maintain your power and influence.

I learned that true leadership involves building camaraderie rather than just trying to outshine others.

Having power over yourself is essential; without it, you're at the mercy of everything else in the world.

I learned the importance of honesty from Richard Feynman, who said you must never fool yourself, as you are the easiest person to fool.
