On The Journey To Life’s Highway

“On the journey to life’s highway, keep your eyes upon the goal. Focus on the donut, not upon the hole.”

-- Arthur Wang

First Say To Yourself What You Would Be

"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do."

-- Epictetus

Do Not Talk About Giftedness

"Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can name great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became “geniuses” (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole."

-- Friedrich Nietzsche

The Road That Made The Difference

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

-- Robert Frost

Our Fortune in Our Own Hands

"Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated."

-- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The Character of Growth

"It is in the character of growth that we should learn from both pleasant and unpleasant experiences."

-- Nelson Mandela

If You Make Mistakes

"If you make mistakes, accept it, learn from it and don’t repeat it. As rightly said, the man who makes no mistakes usually does not make anything."

-- Rupal Jain

How Much You Can Accomplish

“It is amazing how much you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit.”

-— Harry Truman

When You Bring Prosperity To Others

“We cannot help ourselves without helping others We cannot enrich our lives without enriching others We cannot prosper without bringing prosperity to others.”

-— Janette Cole

If You Follow Your Bliss

"If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are—if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time."

-- Joseph Campbell
