Understanding Money

The characteristics of money are:

Durability, Portability, Divisibility, Uniformity, Acceptable.

Money is a store of value. You must store money in a way that it doesn't spoil or rot over time. Money is an efficient way to store value but it is not a perfect way to store value. Inflation slowly erodes purchasing power.

Money is a unit of account.  It is a measure of economic transaction.

Money is a medium of exchange. It is widely accepted as a method of payment. The cashier with accept my method of payment.

Money is the greatest invention of all time.

Donald Trump

Television brings out your flaws, and your weaknesses and your strengths. The audience either likes you or it doesn't.

What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.

In the end, you're measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.

Owning a great golf course gives you great power. 

It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

I think Ronald Reagan was one of the great presidents, period, not just recently. I thought he had the demeanor. I thought he had the bearing. I thought he had the thought process. 

I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is. 

Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make. 

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken. 

Sometimes you need conflict in order to come up with a solution. Through weakness, oftentimes, you can't make the right sort of settlement, so I'm aggressive, but I also get things done, and in the end, everybody likes me. 

I wasn't satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.

If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.

People assume I'm a boiler ready to explode, but I actually have very low blood pressure, which is shocking to people.

You can have anything you want if you want it bad enough.

You can be anything you want be and hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.


I don't care about nothing else.  I don't know anything else. Without a doubt you will see me in the UFC in the near future.

Not only a possibility but an inevitability.

Part sport and Part entertainment.

This is the place is where it happens.

If you limit choices to what seems possible or reasonable.  You disconnect yourself from what you truly want and all that is left is compromise.
Robert Fritz

I'm gonna own this town one day.  That's what I'm thinking.

Training in differently teaches you how to adapt. I don't think how he looks like my opponent. I just spar with whoever is there.

You gonna tune in to see me whip ass or you gonna wanna see me get my ass whooped. But you are gonna tune in.

I eat humble pie every week and I'm glad to eat humble pie.

Your true passion should feel like breathing. It's that natural.

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.

My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me!

High achievers have abnormal confidence, abnormal vision, abnormal passion, abnormal diligence, abnormal tenacity, and abnormal propensity.

The future exists first in the imagination, then in the will, and only then in reality.  Fantasy is an integral in all success.  It permits us to live outside convention and gives free rein to the childhood imagination within us that is so crucial to the creative process.  Such flights of fantasy are possible only after we release ourselves from the the constraints of traditional belief and make a brief visit to the world of what might be.

All progress depends on the unreasonable man.





Sam Walton

I never been one to dwell on reverses. We just got after it and stayed after it.

Be prepared to swim upstream.

Joseph Campbell

We are all seeking the meaning of life.

Marriage is utterly incompatible with the idea of doing one's own thing.

There are two levels of marriage.

A sense of solidarity.

Marriage is a spiritual exercise.

A hero or heroine who has found or done something beyond the normal range of achievement or experience. A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
