Work Out How To Get It

"Look, you have to put something in to get something out. A lot of the work may simply be a matter of thinking, or it might take months of long hard work. But however it might look from the outside, good things don’t just fall into people’s laps. Not very often anyway. If you want something you have to work out how to get it, and this is the first stage of that process."

-- Richard Templar

The Best Version of You

"There will always be somebody out there who is better than you at something you want to do.  You must realize that you are on your own journey, on your own path and you are being the best version of your rather than a bad version of somebody else."

-- Barbara Oakley

The Most Positive Attitude

"When I walked into a room at a children’s hospital to find a six-year-old with incurable cancer and the most positive attitude, I couldn’t help thinking, And I’m worried that I didn’t have a nine share in the ratings this week? Yup, we’re all always learning. Or at least, we should be."

-- Bobby Bones

You Have The Power in The Path of Life

"If you’ve spent most of your life feeling like a victim of your circumstances, it takes hard work to recognize that you have the power to choose your own path in life. The first step is to develop self-awareness by identifying when you blame external circumstances and other people for how you think, feel, and behave. Take a close look at the people you are devoting your time and energy toward. Are they the people you want to receive it? If not, you may be giving them more power than you think they deserve."

-- Amy Morin

Getting Experience

"Experience is one thing you can’t get for nothing."

-- Oscar Wilde

Discover Your Authentic Interests

"Taking the time and effort and care to discover our authentic interests, we move forward in the direction of our authentic dreams."

-- Julia Cameron

Find A Way To Go Beyond

"Instead, the key idea, much like the central idea of this book, is that, whatever you think you are, you are actually bigger than that. You can find a way to go beyond. And you can often get started—or even complete an entire career transition—by reinventing yourself through the constantly updated world of online materials."

-- Barbara Oakley

Other Highly Organized Minds

"No man can build a fortune such as that which Carnegie controlled without the use of other men’s brains. The amount which a single brain can produce, accumulate, and own, acting independently of other brains, is comparatively little, but the amount which one brain can accumulate and control when acting in harmony with other highly organized minds is practically unlimited."

-- Napoleon Hill

How To Put Failure and Disadvantage in Perspective

"It wasn’t until I started to help others that I realized how insignificant my struggles were. There’s nothing like getting involved in things much bigger than yourself to put failure and disadvantage in perspective."

-- Bobby Bones

Have a Strong Sense of Self-Worth

"Without confidence in who you are, your entire self-worth may depend on how others feel about you. What if you offend people? What if they don’t like you anymore? If you choose to put up healthy boundaries, you may receive some backlash. But if you have a strong enough sense of self-worth, you’ll learn that you can tolerate the repercussions."

-- Amy Morin
