“The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.”
“Why did the achievers overcome problems while thousands are overwhelmed by theirs? They refused to hold on to the common excuses for failure. They turned their stumbling blocks into stepping stones. They realized that they couldn't determine every circumstance in life but they could determine their choice of attitude towards every circumstance.”
“All things being equal, attitude wins. All things not being equal, attitude sometimes still wins.”
More on Significance
“If we have a correct theory but merely prate about it, pigeonhole it and do not put it into practice, then that theory, however good, is of no significance.”
“SUCCESS is when I add value to MYSELF. SIGNIFICANCE is when I add value to OTHERS.”
“There is nothing insignificant in the world. It all depends on how one looks at it.”
More on Purpose
“It is a process of diverting one's scattered forces into one powerful channel.”
“Let each moment be guided by positive purpose. And let your whole life express the beauty of who you truly are.”
“It is not enough to merely exist. It's not enough to say, 'I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good parent.' That's all very well. But you must do something more.”
