254 Great Ideas For Success In Life

I strongly believe the quote from one of the richest men in the world, Warren Buffett: “The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself… The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.”

How do we learn? We learn from BOTH good and bad, successful and unsuccessful people. Find out what good/successful people do, and then DO what they do. Also, find out what bad/unsuccessful people do, and then DO NOT do what they do.
