Life Is Made Up Of A Series Of Experiences

Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to
realize it at the time.

Life is your classroom in which you're being tested, tried, and passed.
Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don't isolate yourself
from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life.

The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march
forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.
But, life expects you to make progress in reasonable time.
That's why those third grade school chairs are so small.

YOUR SUCCESS IN ANY OCCUPATION DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT

Loving your work makes the difference.

If you enjoy what you do, you'll be successful. If you don't enjoy what you do, you won't be successful.

Your chances for success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.

If you have a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind, enjoyment, and happiness which comes only when you find the work that you like best.

You don't pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success.

Work is love made visible.

Always Be Prepared For Success

There is no shortage of opportunity. Everyday you are presented with countless chances to be, or do whatever you desire.

Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
Don't miss out on an opportunity because you're not prepared.

Your preparation is absolutely essential.
To achieve success, you must have self discipline.
You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.
You're always in the right place at the right time when you're prepared.

Only You Can Stretch Your Horizon

How can you make your dream come true, if you don't have one?
See things as you want them to be.
Visualize your goals and your subconscious will begin to work toward making your mental pictures come true.

You'll gradually grow into any condition you desire, provided you adjust your mental attitude to mirror the person who corresponds to those conditions.

If you advance with confidence in the direction of your dreams, and begin to live the life you imagine, you'll meet with success beyond your wildest imagination.

The only way to discover your limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

Learn To Pursue The Right Opportunities

Many entrepreneurs who come to me looking for direction. I make sure they understand that any decision is theirs and theirs alone, otherwise, they won't take responsibility if they fail.

They will simply blame 'bad advice' and lose the opportunity to learn from failure, which is always the best teacher.

So the next time you're faced with a difficult decision, begin by asking yourself what it is that you want to be doing for the next 10 years.

Be aware of the potential downside of each decision and, more important, the time, money, and energy each will require. Never lose focus of your goal.

Success Is Determined On The Drawing Board

Success Is Determined On The Drawing Board

It isn't enough to just want to be successful. You've got to ask yourself: "What are you going to do to get the things in life you want?"

Your problem is to bridge the distance which exists between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach. Planning brings your future into the present so you can do something about it now.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done. All you need is a good plan, and the courage to press on to your destination.

A well built house is started with a definite purpose and a set of blueprints. Your plan should provide the pattern for the actions you'll take. Take time each day to study, think and plan.

Plan your steps, then implement your plan, then review your results. Do this frequently and make the appropriate alterations to your plan, and you'll develop the power that will bring you to success.

No one was ever lost on a straight road.

You Can Be A Winner If You Plan Ahead

You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time

You can do things before they need to be done. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.

Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage.

Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.

The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

"Can I call you Angel?"

The snow fell, leaving a halo of white upon your head,
and that's when I said,
"Can I call you Angel?"

You looked at me with surprise,
but I could see it in your eyes,
and I knew.

As you sang silent night,
your beautiful voice put me at ease,
and I asked please,
"Can I call you Angel?"

A smile came to your face with serenity and grace,
but you said not a word.
In my darkest hours you held my hand,
never leaving my side, and I said, while I cried,
"Can I call you Angel? "

You then began to wipe the tears away
and erase all the gray in my life.
You led me down a path of gold,
telling me of the creator above,
and again I asked with a greater love,
"Can I call you Angel?"

You never answered my plea,
so I fell to my knee in prayer.
As I opened my eyes, I could see you before me;
Your wings spread and a golden halo upon your head
and one last time I said,
"??????????????, can I call you Angel?"

The Power To Succeed Is Yours Alone

The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making any excuses, that's the day you start moving down the road to success.

No one else can do it for you. Only you can make it happen.
You're the only one that has to live your life.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. It's up to you to choose the thoughts and action that will lead you to success.

Your life will be what you make of it. Nothing will ever happen by itself. Success will come your way once you realize that you have to make it come your way by your own actions.

The power to succeed is yours alone.

Think In Terms Of What The Other Person Wants

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.

Your success depends on the support of other people.

You can get anything you want in life if you're willing to help enough other people get what they want.

The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of others.

You cannot hold a torch to light anther's path without brightening your own.

Your Success Depends On Using Not Opposing

The world is primarily constituted on the basis of harmony.
Everything works in cooperation with something else.

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.

Put yourself in another's place. Only then will you know why they think and do certain things. Once you understand how quickly people will grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self interest, you can have practically anything you go after.

It's through coopereation not conflict, that you'll achieve your greatest success.

It's Your Friends That Make Your World

Your own positive energy will compel things to turn out the way you desire when you're surrounded by positive people.

Choose your environment with care. Your environment is your mental feeding ground. It's where all the food that goes into your mind comes from.

Choose your environment with care, one that is positive, one that lifts you up and gives you wings to soar.

Create favorable conditions through your association with others. Avoid people who belittle your ambition.

Small people always do that, but the really great people, make you feel that you, too, can become great.

We shape our buildings, and then they shape us.

Leadership Is Action Not Position

All successful people became successful, because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

You can contribute in some way to others, no matter how small your talent. You too, can become successful.

No one achieves success without being of service.

Successful people don't use others, other people use the successful, for above all success is of service.

Everyone has to be someone to someone to be anyone. Service is the essence of success.

Making Choices Is Your Greatest Power

At any time you can decide to alter the course of your life.

No one can ever take that away from you.

You can do what you want to do and be who you want to be.

Nature is constantly at work around you. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence.

You have the power to choose which impulse you follow.

While your character is formed by your circumstances, your desires can shape those circumstances. The one thing over which you have absolute control are your own thoughts.

It is this that puts you in a position to control your own destiny.

Your greatest power is the power to choose.

The Seed Of Success Lies In Your Imagination

Visualize all the things that you want in life. Then make your mental blue print, and begin to build.

Your imagination can show you how to turn your possibilities into reality.

You must make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make those mental images work and produce for you.

Think of things not as they are but as you want them to be.
Don't just dream, be creative.

The will to succeed springs from the knowledge that you can succeed.

Thinking Big Preceeds Big Achievements

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.

You'll always hit what you aim for in the long run. So why not aim high?

Have the courage to follow your dreams. It's the first step towards attaining your destiny.

If you can dream it, you can do it. If you don't have a dream,
how are you going to make it come true?

In order to succeed beyond your wildest expectations, you need some wild expectations.

Every Winner Has Scars

Life is made up of a series of experiences. Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time.

Life is your classroom in which you're being tested, tried, and passed. Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don't isolate yourself from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life.

The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.

Life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That's why those elementary school chairs are so small.

Dream Big Dreams

“Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.” —Doug Ivester

“All successful men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.” —Brian Tracy

“All of our dreams can come true—if we have the courage to pursue them.” —Walt Disney

“I have had dreams and I have had nightmares, but I have conquered my nightmares because of my dreams.” —Dr. Jonas Salk

“To realize a dream, you must have a dream to realize.” —Mark Victor Hansen

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.” —Franklin Delano Roosevelt

“Live out of your imagination, not your history.” —Stephen Covey

“The man who has no imagination has no wings.” —Muhammad Ali

“Nothing happens unless first a dream.” —Carl Sandburg

“Successful people believe in the validity of their own dreams and goals, even if dreams are all they have to go on.” —Denis Waitley

You Gain Strength Overcoming Obstacles

Sooner or later you'll encounter a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success.

Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis.

Close scrutiny will show you that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.

Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either "inspiration" or "desperation."

Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.

Don't Believe In Miracles, Depend On Them!

You don't need an explanation for everything.



Recognize that there are such things as miracles, events for which there are no explanations. Later, knowledge may explain those events away.



The fact that you plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return are common miracles.



Your duty to yourself is to believe that for which you have sufficient evidence, and to suspend your judgement when you have not.



Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Some things have to be believed to be seen.



Vision is the art of seeing invisible things.
