Everybody says they’re trying to get their piece of the pie. They don’t realize that the world is a kitchen – you can make your own pie.
All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind? We make our own destiny.
Do everything happily. Walk, talk, sit happily; even if you complain against somebody, do it happily.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place – that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life.
We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us.
Life is a gift from God, an unlimited series of opportunities to find the good in ourselves and others. There is good in everything, if we are willing to see it.
Practice the philosophy of continuous improvement. Get a little bit better every single day.
Learn something new. Try something different. Convince yourself that you have no limits.
Live a life worth remembering.
The meaning of life is that it is to be lived.
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
A good life is a collection of happy memories.
The real risk is doing nothing.
When you visualize, then you materialize.
