There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses – only results.
If you want extraordinary results you must put in extraordinary effort.
Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline.
The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
Effort and hard work construct the bridge that connects your dreams to reality.
By constant self-discipline and self-control you can develop greatness of character.
Effort is between you and you.
Life is not fair, it never was, it isn’t now, and it won’t ever be. Do not fall into the trap of feeling like you’re a victim. You are not.
This is your life and the clock is ticking.
Don’t waste your time; it is too short, valuable, and irreplaceable.
If they want you to cook the dinner, at least they ought to let you shop for some of the groceries.
A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.
Debt is dumb. Cash is king.
You must gain control over your money or the lack of it will forever control you.
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them – every day begin the task anew.
You never want to fail because you didn’t work hard enough.
Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth.
Time is a precious thing. Never waste it.
Procrastination is the thief of time: Year after year it steals, till all are fled.
If today you are a little bit better than you were yesterday, then that’s enough. And, if tomorrow you are a little bit better than you were today, then that’s enough.
