PRINCIPLES LEAD TO LONG-TERM SUCCESS AND CONSISTENCY

"You don't often hear ethics discussed in the same breath as success. But to me they are inseparable. A lot of people can win once. They get lucky, or follow their intuition, or strike on a good short-term formula. But very few people know how to repeat success on a consistent basis. They lose sight of priorities, grow content, and abandon their principles. Long-term repetitive success is a matter of building a principled system and sticking to it. Principles are anchors; without them you will drift."
