This Issue: Think Like a Winner in 2007

Words of Wisdom from the New Book, Trump 101

Donald J. Trump, Chairman of Trump University, knows that success begins in your own mind. So as the year 2007 begins, I'd like to offer you his thoughts on success, taken from the pages of his new book, Trump 101.

--Ask yourself whether you're doing what you want and what is right for you.--

--Be positive every day. If you're not, no one will think you can succeed.--

--Believe in yourself, exude confidence, and get in your competitors' way. Project yourself into their picture and upset their status quo.--

--Break loose from your comfort zone by moving forward with the power and momentum that positive thinking creates.--

--Zap negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Whatever energy you expend will build the positive stamina that is vital for success.--

--Ignore the expectations of others. Stand up to your friends, family, teachers, colleagues and those who think that they know what's best for you. Plug into your own energy.--

All of us at Trump University wish you every happiness, and every success in business and entrepreneurship in the coming year.

Michael Sexton is President of Trump University. The quotes he offers in this post are drawn from the new book, Trump 101.

When a rabbi in Seattle demanded that the airport erect a menorah to go along with the nine Christmas trees already on display, airport officials decided not to get into any sort of holiday brawl.

Instead, they took down the Christmas trees in order to avoid the threatened lawsuit.

The rabbi complained, saying he only wanted to add a menorah, not take down all holiday décor. But airport officials were afraid that if they added one religious symbol, they'd be required to add symbols for every other religion and culture.

In order not to offend anyone, they decided to take everything down. But they got complaints and the rabbi got complaints.

The rabbi and the airport both looked look like the grinches who stole Christmas. So after all the fuss, the airport decided to put the trees back up.

Everybody's so worried about being so politically correct that pretty soon everyone will be afraid to put up any lights or trees or snowmen and some politician will pass a law banning Christmas decorations completely.

Donald J. Trump, Chairman of Trump University, shares his advice in many Trump University courses, including The Trump Way to Wealth.
