We get paid for bringing value to the marketplace. It takes time,... but we get paid for the value, not the time.

People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead.

For what it will make of you to achieve it.

If you have the guts to be yourself, other people'll pay your price.

"If I do my job right, if I create value for society, society says, "Oh, thank you. We owe you something in the future for the work that you did in the past. Here’s a little IOU. Let’s call that money.

You become what you understand.

If you step on other people's necks to get rich, or barter your personal honor, then it is others who pay for your success and you can hardly call it your own.

If, however, you build something that is of benefit to other people, give them an opportunity to rise with you on your upward climb, you make a contribution.

Getting and becoming are like Siamese twins: What you become directly influences what you get. Think of it this way: Most of what you have today you have attracted by becoming the person you are today.

The only way to get what you're worth is to stand out, to exert emotional labor, to be seen as indispensable, and to produce interactions that organizations and people care deeply about.

Give Society What It Doesn’t Know How to Get Society will pay you for creating what it wants, but doesn't know how to get, and delivering it at scale.

You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

people don’t buy WHAT you do, they buy WHY you do it.
