Quotes worthy enough to be written by blood:




The quote below reminded me of the movie "Matrix"
It is hard to dispute and it is hard to believe. My head starts spinning sometimes but it DOES make me think.
Enjoy the quote:
"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one”
- Albert Einstein


If your destination is too easy to reach, probably there are many people who are already there. You won't get a prize for reaching there. If it is too good to be true, it probably is :)Enjoy the quote.
“If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”
- Frank A. Clark


Unfortunately, our school systems teach a person how to answer. May be there should a course on how to ask good questions? For starters, you can get close to a 100 new questions at Squidoo: The Power of Questions
Enjoy the quote:
"Judge of a man by his questions, rather than by his answers"
-Voltaire
If you are following yesterday's success tips, they may not be applicable for tomorrow :)
Enjoy the quote:
"Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with times"
- Niccolo Machiavelli
Every significant leap in your growth happened because you stretched beyond your limits. The question therefore is - "Are you stretching in the areas that you wish to grow or are you complacent and WISH that you grew?"
Enjoy the quote:
Of course we all have our limits, but how can you possibly find your boundaries unless you explore as far and wide as you can?"
- A.E. Hotchner Novelist and Biographer



The following quote makes me think - do I have a big enough dream and have I coupled with a team determined enough to make it a reality?Enjoy...
"A small group of determined spirits with an unquenchable thirst for their mission, can alter the course of history".
- Mahatma Gandhi



Everyone needs help. You do. I do. Here is a simple quote that highlights this brilliantly.
We are all Angels, With only one wing. We can only fly While embracing each other."
- Luciano Di Crescenzco



Jim Rohn said that success is measurable progress in reasonable time. This quote extends it a bit and reminds us that it's important to move in the right direction.
"I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor"
- Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)



Planning is important but without timely execution, no plan will make sense.
"A good plan violently executed today, is far and away better than a perfect plan tomorrow"
- General George S. Patton


It is no secret that in order to succeed in the long run you have to think long term. This little quote reminds us just that.
"The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining"
- John F. Kennedy


We are smart people and we know that it is a statistical impossibility that we win on everything that we put our hands on. However, when we lose on something, we are dis-heartened and sadly, many times when we win on something, we compare ourselves to others that we have win bigger and stop celebrating our victories. [ Please take a look at: Celebrate small victories ]
This little quote reminds us of the importatance of continuing to try
"It doesn't matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again"
- Charles Kettering


Money is important without a doubt but there are other things equally or more important than money. Here is a beautiful quote from Garth Brooks.
"You aren't wealthy until you have something that money can't buy"
- Garth Brooks

Just because you can do something, please don't do it. Activity is not equal to productivity. Many times we get carried away with organizational change initiatives without fully understanding why something is in it's current form.
"Don't ever take a fence down before you know why it was put up."
- Robert Frost



This one I picked up from the book Guerilla Publicity. This quote reminds us of the importance of execution. Even the most brilliant ideas can fail if not followed by superb execution.
"An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it"
