5 Life Tips from Donald Trump

What other words of wisdom does Trump have for today’s man?

1. Power through everything—even the crap. “I see so many people who have a lot of ability, but they quit. They lose faith. They lose confidence. They just don’t take it to the end. I always tell people, ‘Never quit.’ Obviously, you need the brainpower, which you’re born with one way or the other. But I see so many people with all of the abilities and they give up. You’ll never make it unless you overcome the fears and the inhibitions and stick with what you’re doing. There will be good days and there will be tough days, but stick with it.”

2. Stick to your guns, and ignore the haters. “I was told that The Apprentice would never work because no business show has ever worked in the history of primetime television. Not only did it work, but it actually went to number one for several seasons and continues to do great, and it has spawned some 16 or 17 imitators. Every other one’s been off the air in a few weeks. They all tank. But we’re still going strong. If I had listened to other people, The Apprentice never would have happened.”

3. Hit the links to stay fit. I used to play all sports. I was always a good athlete. I was always the captain of my teams. I still play golf and I do well at that. Staying in shape is very important. Sometimes for me that’s a long walk. More often, it’s a game of golf, which some people might not consider exercise, but I’ll tell you: When I play a few rounds on the weekend, I’ll come in Monday morning and I’ll have lost 3 or 4 pounds. That’s very pleasurable exercise, and it keeps you away from the refrigerator because you’re out on the course.”

4. A healthy body equals a healthy relationship. “If you’re physically happy and healthy, it’s a lot easier to keep a relationship going. I see it all the time where people that I know get sick and a lot of bad things happen to them beyond their health. You’ve got to take care of your body and stay healthy. You don’t want to be a liability. You don’t want to become somebody’s patient. Taking care of your body is a great thing for love.”

5. Put your blood, sweat, and tears into your work. “Quality. I build quality things. It’s a very important word to me. I out-quality everybody. That’s why my buildings do better, why my clubs do better, and why my projects do better. So whatever you’re doing, do it with quality. Be the best at what you do.”
