“Focus on your faith and feed it. The more energy and time you give it, the stronger it becomes.

When you feel fear, it will mean “go” instead of “stop,” and “fight harder” instead of “give up.”

“If you keep nonproductive people, the productive ones become frustrated and leave. If you remove the people who don’t add value, then the whole team gets better. It’s just like trimming trees: If you don’t cut the deadwood, eventually the whole tree falls. But if you remove the deadwood, the tree becomes healthier, the healthy branches produce more, and there’s room for productive new branches on the tree.”
