Daily dose of Inspiration - Part 14 of 30

1. A holiday is recharging your battery. If you set up the connections wrong, no energy goes into the battery. If you do it right, you return at full charge and your brain is able to work the way it was designed to – Gord Johansen

2. If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems. And that’s a big mistake – Frank Wilczek

3. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring the principles, is sure to have trouble – Ralph Waldo Emerson

4. Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simple a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it’s who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment – Anthony Robbins

5. Obstacles are like wild animals… They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them, they are liable to spring upon on you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight – Orison Swett Marden

6. Never give up on your dream… Perseverance is all important. If you don’t have the desire and the belief in yourself to keep trying after you’ve been told you should quit, you’ll never make it – Tawni O’Dell

7. If your ship  doesn’t come, swim out to meet it – Jonathan Winters

8. The heights by great men reached and kept, were not obtained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

9. Be a good listener, opportunity sometimes knocks very softly – Origin Unknown

10. We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Cheers!
