“You cannot consistently perform in a manner that is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.”

“Most people have heard of Mahatma Gandhi, the man who led India to independence from British rule. His life has been memorialized in books and film, and he is regarded as one of the great men in history. But did you know Gandhi did not start out as a great hero? He was born into a middle-class family. He had low self-esteem, and that made him reluctant to interact with others. He wasn’t a very good student, either, and he struggled just to finish high school. His first attempt at higher education ended in five months. His parents decided to send him to England to finish his education, hoping the new environment would motivate him. Gandhi became a lawyer. The problem when he returned to India was that he didn’t know much about Indian law and had trouble finding clients. So he migrated to South Africa and got a job as a clerk. Gandhi’s life changed one day while riding on a train in South Africa in the first-class section. Because of his dark skin, he was forced to move to a freight car. He refused, and they kicked him off the train. It was then he realized he was afraid of challenging authority, but that he suddenly wanted to help others overcome discrimination if he could. He created a new vision for himself that had value and purpose. He saw value in helping people free themselves from discrimination and injustice. He discovered purpose in life where none had existed previously, and that sense of purpose pulled him forward and motivated him to do what best-selling author and motivational speaker Andy Andrews calls “persist without exception.” His purpose and value turned him into the winner he was born to be,”

“Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they've never failed to imitate them.”

“A poet stated it more succinctly when he wrote, “I hear and forget. I see and hear and I remember. However, when I see, hear and do, I understand and succeed.” Interestingly enough, you will discover that when you read this book a second time, you will get more thoughts and more ideas than you did the first time. This is especially true if you read a few minutes every day before you start your day’s activities and just before you go to sleep.”

“Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.”

“If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.”

“You never know when one kind act, or one word of encouragement, can change a life forever.”

“It's your aptitude, not just your attitude that determines your ultimate altitude."

“If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.”

“Motivation doesn't last, neither does shower. That why we need it everyday”

“you can start from where you are with what you’ve got and go to where it is you want to go.”

“It makes no difference where you go, there you are. And it makes no difference what you have, there’s always more to want. Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy because of what you have.”

“out from under it. “We never do anything well 'til we cease to think about the manner of doing it.” —William Hazlitt”
