Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.
I don’t believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.
Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.
Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.
You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.
The great breakthrough in your life comes when you realize that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself. This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.
When you develop yourself to the point where your belief in yourself is so strong that you know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to, your future will be unlimited.
Continually push yourself out of your comfort zone. Push yourself to stretch as you try new things each day.
Welcome the challenges. Look for the opportunities in every situation to learn and grow in wisdom.
All skills are learnable.
View life as a continuous learning experience.
There is a direct relationship between joy and effort. The joy of success is in ratio to the amount of effort expended to achieve it.
The only limits on human achievement are self-imposed.
It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.
Surely, in the light of history, it is more intelligent to hope rather than to fear, to try rather than not to try. For one thing we know beyond all doubt: nothing has ever been achieved by the person who says: it can’t be done.
Do not let anyone tell you what you can be. Do not let anyone tell you that you are not good enough or smart enough. Remember that nobody is better than you. Everybody puts on their pants one leg at a time.
You have not failed until you quit trying.
Don’t say, “If I could, I would.” Say, “If I can, I will.”
Don’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.
