Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can
achieve. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s
life. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.Two roads
diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has
made all the difference. The common question that gets asked in business
is, ‘why?’ That’s a good question, but an equally valid question is,
‘why not?Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all
achievement. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other
plans. We become what we think about. Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you
did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch
the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.Life is 10%
what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. If you do what you’ve
always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten. The mind is
everything. What you think you become. The best time to plant a tree
was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. An unexamined life is not
worth living.
Eighty percent of success is showing
up. Don’t wait. The time will never be just right. Winning isn’t
everything, but wanting to win is. I am not a product of my
circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. Every child is an
artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. You
can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of
the shore. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people
will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them
feel. Either you run the day, or the day runs you. Whether you think
you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. The two most important
days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it. The best revenge is massive success. People often
say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s
why we recommend it daily. Inspiration exists, but it must find you
working.
If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot
paint,” then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.There is
only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be
nothing. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your
eyes off the goal. The only person you are destined to become is the
person you decide to be. Go confidently in the direction of your
dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
When I stand before God
at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit
of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me. Successful
people are always looking for opportunities to help others.
Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?”
Certain
things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart.
Believe you can and you’re halfway there. Everything you’ve ever wanted
is on the other side of fear. We can easily forgive a child who is
afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of
the light. Once you choose hope, anything’s possible. Start where you
are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
When I was 5 years old,
my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I
went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I
wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment,
and I told them they didn’t understand life. Fall seven times and stand
up eight.
When one door of happiness closes, another
opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see
the one that has been opened for us. Everything has beauty, but not
everyone can see. How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single
moment before starting to improve the world. When I let go of what I am,
I become what I might be.
