I like "One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals. "One should have some big goals to follow. And keep on working on them consistently. It's the only way to get encouraged and motivated. And how actually you know whether your goals are big or not?

The answer is "if your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough."

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning .Patience, persistence and perspiration make…

You must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind.

“Are you tired? Are you feeling that you will not be able to reach your destination? Then all you have to remember is that those who reached their far and hard destinations also felt the same way on their way! Knowing what others felt will give you a great power to complete your journey!”  

Life is filled with highs and lows—valleys and peaks that will test your resilience, that will push you to overcome challenges—and the lessons you’ll learn on your way to the top will only make you stronger, better.

“People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.”

“The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny.”

“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.”

We live in a completely independent world, which simply means we cannot escape each other. How we respond to AIDS depends,  whether we understand this independence. It is not someone else's problem. This is everybody's problem. 

Life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing those cards you hold well. 

Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.

1. "A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
2. "There is a difference between being a leader and being a boss. Both are based on authority. A boss demands blind obedience; a leader earns his authority through understanding and trust.
3. "You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.
4. "In the end, it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by…

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. 

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. 

The way you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you, determines everything that happens to you. When you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life, sometimes instantly.

You have complete control over only one thing in the universe — your thinking! You can decide what you are going to think in any given situation. Your thoughts and feelings determine your…
