“There should always be a defined time in your  life be its daily, weekly or monthly when you review what has been happening in your life. Don’t worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.”

“Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you will start having positive results. The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.”

“When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself but the world. Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.”

Chiwanza said everyone should be given a chance and as far as he can remember there is nothing wrong with people’s minds but their mindsets need to be changed.
