Les Brown People Quotations

In day-to-day commerce, television is not so much interested in the business of communications as in the business of delivering audiences to advertisers. People are the merchandise, not the shows. The shows are merely the bait.

We are living in very challenging times. Pressured in the workplace and stressed out at home, people are trying to make sense of their lives.

I think of myself as a catalyst of action and a messenger of hope, turning people onto themselves and turning people onto their dreams.

A lot of people do not muster the courage to live their dreams because they are afraid to die.

People couldn't get down here. They couldn't find it, so they'd go a different way and go somewhere else.

Some people would rather get even instead of get ahead.

Downsizing trends and the changing global market require people to reinvent themselves and think like entrepreneurs.

NEVER let other people's opinions of you determine your destiny.

Don’t waste another minute dealing with a toxic, negative, energy-draining person. Some people are wired for negativity. They love being argumentative, combative and abusive. Run for your life as quickly as possible.

Doing great requires that we become great people, and all of us can become great people.

If you only talk to a person's head and not their heart people won't listen to you.

Most people fail in life not because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.

If you want to be rich watch what rich people do everyday and do it. And watch what poor people do and don't do it.

It's necessary to know that everybody won't see it. That everybody won't join you, that everybody won't have the vision. It's necessary to know that. That a lot of people like to complain but they don't want to do anything about their situation. That you are UNCOMMON breed.

Avoid head trash. Don't be a garbage can for anything that does not feed your intellect, stimulate your imagination, or make you a more compassionate peaceful person. Refuse to open your mind to other people's trash. Tune out anything that promotes conflict or controversy. This can infect you with a mind virus of cynicism or defeat, and you won't even know it!

Align yourself with people that you can learn from, people who want more out of life, people who are stretching and searching and seeking some higher ground in life.
