Inspirational Quotes by Napoleon Hill

Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.

Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it.
Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

Any ideas, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

There are no Failures in Competitive Swimming,Just Different Levels of Achievement.

More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.

Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.

Motivational Words by Brian Tracy

Never settle for anything less than your best.

A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power.

Never be afraid to take the first step because of the possibility of failure. Know in advance that you are going to fail many times before you achieve your goal. The good news is that every failure teaches you something that will be helpful to you to not only achieve your goal but to hold onto the goal once you reach it.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

The more you do what you're doing, the more you'll get of what you've got.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

In any endeavor we can choose to be positive and constructive, sit down and think through the situation, and then begin to deal with it one oil barrel — one small achievement — at a time. Of course, this isn't always as easy as it sounds. We all must overcome the four obstacles that tend to get in the way of our maintaining a positive attitude.

Setting priorities begins with deciding what you want most in life and then organizing your time and activities so everything you do is the most valuable use of your time in achieving those objectives.

Perhaps one of the greatest discoveries in history is this simple truth: you become that which you think about most of the time. No one is smarter than you, no one is better than you, no one has more inborn talent than you. But successful people, at one point or another, set their minds on becoming that which they have now become.

Romantic Poem by Edmund Spenser

One day I wrote her name upon the strand



One day I wrote her name upon the strand,

But came the waves and washed it away:

Again I wrote it with a second hand,

But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.

Vain man, said she, that dost in vain assay

A mortal thing so to immortalize!

For I myself shall like to this decay,

And eek my name be wiped out likewise.

Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise

To die in dust, but you shall live by fame:

My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,

And in the heavens write your glorious name;

Where, whenas death shall all the world subdue,

Our love shall live, and later life renew.

Edmund Spenser, poet

Zig Ziglar's Motivating Quotes

Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.

When you respond to life, that's positive; when you react to life, that's negative.

This I do know beyond any reasonable doubt. Regardless of what you are doing, if you pump long enough, hard enough and enthusiastically enough, sooner or later the effort will bring forth the reward.

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.

It's not what you've got, it's what you use that makes a difference.

You can get everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.

Zig Ziglar in Secrets of Closing the Sale

If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

You don't pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success.

Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.

Tiger Woods Quotes

I want to be what I've always wanted to be: dominant.

You can always become better.

No matter how good you get you can always get better and that's the exciting part.

From early childhood I dreamed of being the world’s best golfer. I worked hard and applied my family’s values to everything I did. Integrity, honesty, discipline, responsibility and fun; I learned these values at home and in school, each one pushing me further toward my dream.

I think it's an honor to be a role model to one person or maybe more than that. If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person's life in a positive light, and that's what I want to do. That's what it's all about.

I get to play golf for a living. What more can you ask for - getting paid for doing what you love.

You've got to stay patient, stay in the moment, keep grinding, ... You never know what can happen. And it turned out well.

One of the things that my parents have taught me is never listen to other people's expectations. You should live your own life and live up to your own expectations, and those are the only things I really care about it.

Sad Love Poem

Where My Books Go



All the words that I utter,

And all the words that I write,

Must spread out their wings untiring,

And never rest in their flight,

Till they come where your sad, sad heart is,

And sing to you in the night,

Beyond where the waters are moving,

Storm-darken'd or starry bright.

William Butler Yeats

Stephen Covey Inspiring Words

You give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Human beings are not things needing to be motivated and controlled; they are four dimensional—body, mind, heart, and spirit.

The moment of making choice is the moment of truth!

Spiritual View of Life
First of all, you are dealing with the whole person. That includes the
person’s spirit or soul. You cannot separate their body or their mind or their heart from their spirit, because they are all so inter-related, and there is a synergistic relationship between all these four dimensions of our nature. Any attempt to compartmentalise will reduce that synergistic effect and it will have negative repercussions on your body, your mind, your heart, your emotions, your thinking
and so forth.

Another dimension would be that you are dealing with those principles that are universal and timeless.

Thirdly, spirituality deals with peace of conscience. Obeying or following your conscience, means that you are true to that which you have internalised as being right and this gives you tremendous tranquillity and courage.

Voice is unique personal significance—significance that is revealed as we face our greatest challenges and that makes us equal to them.
Dr. Stephen R. Covey, 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness

Often we are so busy with sawing that we forget to shapen the saw.

If you want to make minor, incremental changes and improvements, work on practices, behavior or attitude. But if you want to make significant, quantum improvement, work on paradigms.

The more we use and magnify our present talents, the more talents we are given and the greater our capacity becomes.

Vision comes as people sense human need and respond to their conscience in trying to meet that need.

Instead of taking two watches, take compass. It is not important how fast you are moving, but where you are moving.
