The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly. If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 2:29pm On Oct 20, 2007 |
I dream, therefore I become. Live in your imagination today, for tomorrow it can become your reality. Do every act of your life as if it were your last. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:26am On Oct 25, 2007 |
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do. Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves - to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterdays by our today; to do the little parts of our work with more force than ever before. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:47am On Oct 26, 2007 |
Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting. The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:44am On Oct 27, 2007 |
The greatest motivation is success. What better way to motivate ourselves to move towards our goals than to have the object of our fascination as a source of motivation? If we want to live in a bigger house, let that house be our motivation. If we want to have a better job, let that new job with a big paycheck be our motivation. And if we want to have an international business, why not let that international business give us the nudge we need to trudge forward. We understand that the biggest obstacle and challenge to being successful is the lack of motivation. Sometimes, when we're halfway through a journey, we find ourselves slacking. It's like writing a novel. Novel writers will happily tell you about how easy it is to start a project and how difficult it is to see it through to the end. Achieving success is a lot like that. You have a million and one starts, and practically not a single ending. Or even if we have lots of endings, most of them are premature and way off mark. Never lose sight of success The fastest way to success is to keep your eye on that success all the time. Consistently. Never peel your eyes away from the fact that one day, you're going to get what you want in life. It's not hope. It's not a wish. It's not even a goal! It has to be a fact. When you think success is not an option but a fact, the faster you will get it. Take, for example, Olympic swimmers. If Olympic swimmers want to get their gold medals, they are trained to go through a series of mind-boggling workout sessions every single day and are consistently psyched up about WHEN they are going to achieve their goals. Not IF but WHEN. Only when they start viewing the gold medal as a necessity, envisioning the gold medals hanging from their clothes hook on their wall will they feel adequately motivated to move unwaveringly towards that goal. Surrounding yourself with success minded people We've personally heard of people who are so geared for success that they are literally living in a world of success, enjoying the things that they would enjoy when they are successful. This plays up the part of it being the biggest motivation, and when it is all around you, you cannot ignore it. By surrounding themselves with successful people or success-minded people the rewards are limitless. Not only are their friends able to share their positive views on how to better reach their goals, they are in the position to motivate each other and share tips and tricks! Regardless of what an optimistic person you are, you are still susceptible to feeling negative, sad, disappointed and impatient about achieving your goals. Positive and success minded people can offer a sympathetic and understand shoulder to cry on and then help nudge you on your way. A book of vision And we think there's nothing better than self-motivation. Try making a book of dreams to help remind you of your goals. Cut and paste pictures of people or things that can remind you of your goals, and let yourself smell success every time you flip those pages. |

Rumors are carried by talkatives, spread by illiterates and accepted by fools. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 11:15am On Oct 29, 2007 |
The secret of success in life is for a person to be ready for opportunity when it comes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die, and the choices that we make are ultimately our responsibility. Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:28am On Oct 31, 2007 |
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself. Concentrate all your thoughts on the task at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus. If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by dellynash(f): 1:32pm On Oct 31, 2007 |
you cannot act where you are not you cannot act where you have been and you cannot act where you are going to be you can act only where you are" i don't get it where u have been is still the same as where u are so u can act where u have been tht is how i see it |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 3:17pm On Oct 31, 2007 |
dellynash: that is not true, the location may be the same but the events and activities can never be the same. and you cannot turn back the hands of time and hope to take action then. you know, to most people, when opportunity present it self, they will postpone action and let that opportunity pass by, and letter "dwell in the past" and hope for that opportunity to come again. some other persons may delay action by waiting until they graduate from the university, until they got that visa, until they have that job, so on and so forth, whereby forgetting to take the necessary action to attain their goal. in the nutshell, what the "quote" is trying to teach us is that, THE BEST TIME TO ACT IS NOW. |

A sign you are headed in the right direction on your God-given path is when you come to the end of yourself and you can no longer "make it happen"[/b] in your own strength. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 10:54am On Nov 02, 2007 |
The meaning of life is to give life meaning. The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion, It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree. You can't win unless you learn how to lose. |

Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 12:42pm On Nov 05, 2007 |
To be successful in life, gravitate towards the standard of excellence, not the standard of acceptance. The difficulties we experience always illuminate the lessons we need most. Make one person happy each day, and in forty years you will have made 14,600 human beings happy for a little time, at least. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 9:43am On Nov 06, 2007 |
The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry, all things easy. He that rises late must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him. The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 11:02am On Nov 07, 2007 |
No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 12:19pm On Nov 08, 2007 |
Create each day anew. All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 11:56am On Nov 12, 2007 |
Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach. At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. I am a strong believer in luck and I find the harder I work the more I have of it. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 1:12pm On Nov 15, 2007 |
You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is only at this level that you can exercise choice. What you do comes from what you think. First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends: wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by Nobody: 1:40pm On Nov 15, 2007 |
"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all." |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 12:02pm On Nov 20, 2007 |
Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn’t have it in the beginning. It is in giving that we receive. What you must dare is to be yourself. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by Yinkwamo(m): 3:53pm On Nov 21, 2007 |
A man with his God, there is nothing like impossibility |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 11:20am On Nov 22, 2007 |
You may never know what result comes of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result. You have your brush, you have your colors, you paint paradise, then in you go. The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems. |
Re: Quotes Of The Day by nawa1(m): 11:30am On Dec 03, 2007 |
Whenever you have an opportunity to laugh, laugh; whenever you have an opportunity to dance, dance; whenever you have an opportunity to sing, sing - and one day you will find you have created your paradise. First say to yourself what you would be, then do what you have to do. Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. |
