There's nothing I did not hear, there's nothing I did not see, but I never despair.

You can either follow your dreams or adjust with your society's expectations... Either way, consequences are uncertain... the path to glory or the boulevard of mediocrity, both lead to the grave... Choose what's worthwhile, for the end is the same.

When all seems to be against you, remember, a ship sometimes has to sail against the current, not with it.

If the grass is greener on the other side, try planting better seeds.

A star that is determined to shine cannot be hidden, not even by darkness.

Seeds are proof that the greatest growth takes place in the dark.

A bird that does not break out of its shell will die in its egg.

A butterfly is a caterpillar which refused to give up its dreams to fly.

Stars are born out of dark moments.

The bigger the bricks critics throw at you the bigger the palace you are going to build.

Do what no one else can do and you will become what no one else can become.

A star earns the right to shine the day it is born.

Believe in yourself, not in your critics.

It is impossible to make your own luck without the ingredient of hard work.

Excellence in obscurity is better than mediocrity in the spotlight.

Excellence is the best ink with which to make your mark in the world.

Familiarity is the dagger thrust into the heart of fear.

The pen is mightier than the sword as long as it doesn't run out of ink.

And I realized, that the reason why good things were not happening to me as often as wanted them to, was because I in fact was a good thing that needed to happen. I needed to happen to me, to other people and to the world. And so I happened.

Love is divine ink: miracles are God's signature.

The greatest treasures are not found in museums, but in our hearts.

There is no "I", there's only "we". Meaning all you can touch, and all that you see is a part of you, and a part of me.

The best way to prepare for life is acombination of formal traditional education, reading, seminars,and workshops, coupled with experience as well as tapping into the knowledge of experienced people.

Many self-help teachers say that our schools only focus on “preparing today’s youths to get good jobs by developing scholastic skills.” They think that’s a bad thing. It’s probably the right thing. Not everyone is suited for entrepreneurship, as statistics seem to suggest. Even future entrepreneurs usuallyneed to begin as employees to get their starting capital and tolearn while they work.

The difference between successful and unsuccessful people isn’t really aboutresources that were available to them when they started out, Instead its their resourcefulness or personal initiative that makes the difference.

Your self-esteem and emotional strength relies solely onhow you think and how you see things around you.

A client of mine once joked, “If youremployer likes you, the rest is history, the raise and everythingelse will come.” That intangible attitude in the workplace is whatsets apart those who get promoted and those who don’t.

Work and Life are not separate spheres. They are integratedmoments in life that happen throughout the day.

The idea that “work” competes with “life” ignores that “life” is actually the intersection and interaction of four major domains: work, home, community, and the private self.

Our life is an odd mixture of different moments of action andinaction, work and rest.

Personal growth is the most powerful force for change on earth. I believe that personal growth can help anyone change anything.

As someone said, inthe School of Hard Knocks they give the test first, then thelesson. That is a slow, costly and surely painful way to learn.Unfortunately, it’s the only “school” that teaches many thingsyou need to know.

always keep in mind the paramount importance of living a balanced life with emphasis on nurturing strong friendships and family ties, while still doing the things that you find rewarding for reasons other than mere monetary income.

First, it is essential to determine precisely what you wantto achieve. Just wanting to be “successful” is too general.

I have learned its the most difficult thing to become financially free from earning the minimum wage. So even if employees increase the minimum wage its the same thing. But once employees improve on their skills and personal value their wages go up and then financial freedom is posible.

Our perceptions of reality are only a relationship to what is actually out there. Perceptions are influenced by context, by previous life experience, and by our tendency to seek outevidence to confirm our expectations. This drive to confirm, asargued by social physiologists, results in what is known as self fulfilling prophecy.

when you are a child you unconsciously adopt certain beliefs. Yet, there comesthe necessity to upgrade these beliefs as you grow older.

Unbelief in the supernatural is a belief in its own nature.

If you want to live an exceptional life, you must move beyond probability into the realm of possibility

It’s our decisions, not our conditions, that ultimately shape the quality of our lives.

How you define an event produces emotionand determines how you feel going forward

Many of us have allowed well-meaning parents,teachers, religious leaders and peers to tell us that there issomething fundamentally wrong with us if we don’t believe as they do. Simply put, we have forgotten how to think for ourselves.

Every day you make certain decisions and take specific actions that come about as a result of how you think, feel and the habits you tend to indulge

I don’t understand why people are always putting us down, instead of encouraging us to become great. Because, when you do become great, you will give me a world that I would not have any other way. We all havesomething to give one another.

if you are using probability arguments wit yourself, you are saying: “I want to live a life like everybody else!” By definition, an exceptional life is a life of low probability.

Living a life without setting goals is like sailing a ship without a planned course. You are likely to end up somewhere you didn’t intend to go!

our value/belief system acts as aconditioning factor for our thinking pattern.

Even the greatest fool can accomplish a task if it were after hisor her heart. But the intelligent ones are those who can convert every work into one that suits their taste

If you decide to do anything and follow throughwith actions with the same intensity as your decision, you willdefinitely end up with an excellent result.

your goals are as good as your actions.No action taken, no goals achieved

Always take massive imperfect action towards your goals because the timemight never be “just right”.

I’m a witness to personal development being the best investment you could ever make by improving yourselfproactively, working on your awareness, improving your skillsand knowledge about how you can get to the edge of yourpotential

The only way to watch paid TV from the comfort of your room isby subscribing to a paid TV service. In the same way, the only wayto change your level of financial success ‘permanently’ is to subscribeand keep upgrading your financial mind-set. But it is your decisionwhether you choose to change or not.

My view is that, if you think that money brings problems, you have a problem with money. The money itself is innocent.

whats the point to spend money you haven’t earned, to buy thingsyou don’t need,to impress people you don’t like

I have learned its very difficult to become financially free by earning the minimum wage. Even if employers increased the minimum wage like the always do its the same thing. But once employees improve on their skills and self development, their wages inevitably go up and then financial independence is possible.
