"Get what you want!" --> I am not content now, future will bring me happiness

vs.

"Want what you get." --> accepting the now as it is, being grateful for the opportunities in front of you. Then you take action.

God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest. ~J.G. Holland

This quote is what I really like the most. This is because it explains how God created this world for us. That e have to strive hard for everything that we want/need so that we can have it. Nothing is instant.

Thank you.

"No true fiasco ever began as a quest for mere adequacy. A motto of the British Special Air Force is: 'Those who risk, win.' A single green vine shoot is able to grow through cement. The Pacific Northwestern salmon beats itself bloody on it's quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life "

I heard this in a comment, it is certainly different, but awesome coming from just a comment.

It was about a video that was showing off the rich people's toys (Yachts, boats, ect)

"Funny how so many of you hate the rich and call them names etc... but you try so hard to become rich by standing in line at the convenient store buying those lottery tickets.. I guess the wealthy are only evil if they worked hard and got there money."


YES.

"What one man can do, another can do."
- Anthony Hopkins in "The Edge"

Basically, if there are other people being successful, it's not impossible.

Great list here: Entrepreneurship: What are some of the best quotes on entrepreneurship? - Quora

Highest Voted:

So the thing I would say is, when you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world, try not to bash into the walls too much, try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. But life -- that's a very limited life -- life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it. You can influence it. You can build your own things that other people can use. And the minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will -- you know if you push in somethign will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it -- that's maybe the most important thing: is to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you're just gonna live it vs. embrace it; change it; improve it; make your mark upon it. I think that's very important. And however you learn that, once you learn it, you'll wanna change life and make it better - 'cause it's kinda messed up in a lotta ways. Once you learn that you'll never be the same again.

One I just saw on FB:

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”

-William J.H. Boetcker

My two quotes which I believe are mine:

Impossible is an opinion, not a fact.

If someone else has achieved it you can too.

The story of Roger Bannister illustrates both. Roger Bannister was the first human being to run a mile in under 4 minutes before he officially achieved this record it was thought to be "impossible" as no human in history had done it. So in the history of sport no human had ever run a sub 4 minute mile. He proved that impossible was opinion. 46 days later someone else broke his world record. Proving that if someone else can do it, you can too.

I'm reading Ca$hvertising by Drew Eric Whitman, and this quote stuck out to me. It applies in life, business, and in advertising:

Stop being afraid to use your own brain. Forge your own path and leave your own mark. You don' t need permission from anybody to do things your way. You be the leader. You be the one people copy because what you're doing is so unique. Shake people up in your industry. Why be just another person in your industry who does nothing new, nothing worth noting, nothing that gets people talking and buying?

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together, when everyone else would understand if you fell apart - that is true strength."
