The fact that there aren't an abundance of African-American males that are getting lead roles [and] that are getting roles that have prominence on the big screen.

Michael B. Jordan

The only way you gain mental toughness is to do things you're not happy doing. If you continue doing things that you're satisfied and make you happy, you're not getting stronger. You're staying where you're at. Either you're getting better, or you're getting worse. You're not staying the same.

David Goggins

If the other guy is getting better, then you'd better be getting better faster than the other guy is getting better... or you're getting worse.

Tom Peters

The S&P is up 343.8 percent for 10 years. That is a four-bagger. The general equity funds are up 283 percent. So it's getting worse, the deterioration by professionals is getting worse. The public would be better off in an index fund.
