Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
Lord Chesterfield

The big thing is not what happens to us in life, it is what we do about what happens to us.
George Allen

Be more concerned about your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is what others think you are.
Coach John Wooden

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgment upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,

I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
Thomas Jefferson

Success is not permanent. The same is true of failure.
Dell Crossword

I hear- I forget
I see- I remember
I do- I understand

Confucius

Successful communication demands that you take advantage of all the modern skills and aids available to ensure that your message comes across as you intend it. The conveying of ideas takes place in several dimensions at once. It takes more than just words to communicate an experience to others. You must involve your listeners in what you are saying. They must experience your message using all of their senses: sound, sight and touch-even smell and taste.

This one step – choosing a goal and sticking to it – changes everything.
Scott Reed

You can do it if you think you can.
