Already it is declared by scientist that the first human being in the world was a girl. Obsolutely there was no complication when she was alone. All confusion started after man came to the world.

Gyro | | Hi Brinda,
May be out of compulsion of his wife, Confuscious could have delivered such statement. (OR) He would have thought that no need to consider females for any resereach means they do not have brain (thinking capacity) even to confuse people thereby arriving at some solution.

remember that what you beleive will depend on what you are

self confidnece is the 1st requiste to great undertakings
the important thing was to love rather than to be loved
a ship in the harbour is safe but that is not what ships are built for

The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better. Barbara Pletcher

Where many people go wrong in trying to reach their goals is in constantly looking for the big hit, the home run, the magic answer that suddenly transforms their dreams into reality. The problem is that the big hit never comes without a great deal of little hits first.

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights
that can't be scaled by someone who knows the secrets

thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and
unquestionable.
- Walt Disney (1901-1966)
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every

this horror. I can take the next thing that comes
along.' ...You must do the thing you think you cannot
do.
- Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
Courage is, with love, the greatest gift. We are, each
of us, defeated many times, but if we accept defeat
with cheerfulness, and learn from it, and try another
way, then we will find fulfillment.

Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous mind. Samuel Johnson

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity. Eleanor Roosevelt
I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious. Albert Einstein
Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will. James Stephens

I think that fortune watcheth o'er our lives, surer than we. But well said: he who strives will find his goals strive for him equally. Euripides
he that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged
You only have one head so why wear all the hats? Rick Beneteau
If you would be rich, you will be rich; if you would be good, you will be good; if you would be learned, you will be learned. But wish for one thing exclusively, and don't at the same time wish for a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly. William James
Focused mind power is one of the strongest forces on earth. Mark Victor Hansen
The world needs role models, instead of critics.
Others know when you have their best interests at heart.
You are truly successful when you can extend a strong hand to someone who is reaching out or just trying to hang on.
Come through for others, and they will come through for you.
People who seek attention, need all the help they can get.
You know youre a success when people tell you, I like me best when I'm with you.
If we succeed without sacrifice, it's because someone sacrificed for us.
Real power comes by empowering others!
Promises should not be given lightly unless you want them lightly received.
If I help you win, then I win too!

Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half | | SUCCESS
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Think!
If you can't get through the mountain, go around it. If you can't go around it , go over it. If you can't go over it , sit down and ask yourself if getting to the other side is all that important. If it is, set about digging a tunnel.
LOVE IS BLIND
A long time ago, before the world was created and humans set foot on it for the first time, and vices floated around and were bored, not knowing what to do.
One day, all the vices and virtues were gathered together and were more bored than ever. Suddenly, Ingenious came up with an idea: "Let's play hide and seek!"
All of them liked the idea and immediately Madness shouted: "I want to count, I want to count!" And since nobody was crazy enough to want to seek Madness, all the others agreed.
Madness leaned against a tree and started to count: "One, two, three..." As Madness counted, the vices and virtues went hiding.
Tenderness hung itself on the horn of the moon... Treason hid in a pile of garbage... Fondness curled up between the clouds...and Passion went to the centre of the earth.... Lie said that it would hide under a stone, but hid at the bottom of the lake... whilst Avarice entered a sack that he ended up breaking.
And Madness continued to count: .... "seventy nine, eighty, eighty one..." By this time, all the vices and virtues were already hidden - except Love.
For undecided as Love is, he could not decide where to hide. And this should not surprise us, because we all know how difficult it is to hide Love.
Madness: "...ninety five, ninety six, ninety seven..." Just when Madness got to one hundred.........Love jumped into a rose bush where he hid. And Madness turned around and shouted: "I'm coming, I'm coming!"
As Madness turned around, Laziness was the first to be found, because Laziness had no energy to hide. Then he spotted Tenderness in the horn of the moon, Lie at the bottom of the lake and Passion at the centre of the earth.
One by one, Madness found them all - except Love. Madness was getting desperate, unable to find Love. Envious of Love, Envy whispered to Madness: "You only need to find Love and Love is hiding in the rose bush."
Madness grabbed a wooden pitch fork and stabbed wildly at the rosebush. Madness stabbed and stabbed until a heartbreaking cry made him stop.
Love appeared from the rose bush, covering his face with his hands. Between his fingers ran two trickles of blood from his eyes. Madness, so anxious to find Love, had stabbed out Love's eyes with a pitch fork.
"What have I done! What have I done!" Madness shouted. "I have left you blind! How can I repair it?"
And Love answered: "You cannot repair my eyes. But if you want to do something for me, you can be my guide."
And so it came about that from that day on, Love is blind and is always accompanied by Madness.

The Gypsy | | Hey... I just absolutely dig Mark Twain!! His take on life reeks of attitude and insightful observations.. they are funny and yet.. Deep...
The reader's digest has some really cool quotes... but these are a few of my fave ones...
Attitude:
I think Mark Twain said it best: Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
Power: The Autocrat of Russia possesses more power than any other man in the earth; but he cannot stop a sneeze.- Mark Twain
Wit: Wit and Humor--if any difference it is in duration--lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently; but one is vivid, brief, and can do damage--the other fools along and enjoys the elaboration.- Mark Twain
Success:
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. Winston Churchill
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.- Bill Cosby
Eighty percent of success is showing up.- Woody Allen
Love:
Mark Twain: Love is not a product of reasonings and statistics. It just comes--none knows whence--and cannot explain itself.
Laughter:
Laughing at ourselves is possible when we are able to see humanity as it
is- a little lower than the angels and at times only slightly higher than
the apes."
Tom Mullen
Happiness:
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.- Ogden Nash
Happiness ain't a thing in itself--it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant.- Mark Twain
On Marriage:
Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution. - Mae West :)
Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other who never forgets them.- Ogden Nash
Life:
Ogden Nash:
Life is an Easter Parade in which you whisper, "No darling if it's a boy we'll name him after your father!" into the ear of an astonished stranger because the lady you thought was walking with you has stopped to gaze into a window full of radishes...
Certainly there are things in life that money can't buy, but it's very funny - Did you ever try buying then without money?- Ogden Nash
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
- Mark Twain
Each person is born to one possession which outvalues all his others- his last breath.

Srinivasan Narayana Moorthy | | Alchemist - Paulo Cohelo ...
When a man pursues his destiny, everything in the world conspires to make it possible.
Maktub: It is written (Means your destiny is already written.)
It is not what enters mens mouth that is evil, it is what comes out of their mouth that is.
Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. Youve got to find the treasure, so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
You will spend the rest of your days knowing that you didnt pursue your destiny, and that now it is too late.
You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, its because it wasnt true love... the love that speaks the Language of the World.
Every search begins with beginners luck. And every search ends with the victors being severely tested.
To show you one of lifes simple lessons, when you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.
If a person is living out his destiny he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.
When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, theres no need at all to understand whats happening, because everything happens within you, and even men can turn themselves into the wind. As long as the wind helps, of course.
Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.
Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.
It is true. Life really is generous to those who pursue their destiny.

preethi kumar | | hi,
these are not quotes and may not belong here but i posted them anyway.
The Ant
The ant has made himself illustrious
Through constant industry industrious.
So what?
Would you be calm and placid,
If you were full of formic acid?
The Cow
The cow is of bovine ilk;
One end is moo, the other is milk.
The Eel
I don't mind eels
Except as meals.
And the way they feels.
THE OCTOPUS
Tell me, O Octopus, I begs
Is those things arms, or is they legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus;
If I were thou, I'd call me Us.
the shrimp
A shrimp who sought his lady shrimp
Could catch no glimpse
Not even a glimp.
At times, translucence
Is rather a nuisance.

Srinivasan Narayana Moorthy | | Ok, not sure if this qualifies for a "quote", following up on Gokul's post on love being mad ... here goes something that i read some time back....
"What can love be then? A mortal?" I said.
"Far from it".
"Well, what?"
"As in my previous examples he is half-way between mortal and immortal".
"What sort of being is he then Diotima?"
"He is a great spirit, Socrates; everything that is of the nature of a spirit is half-god and half-man" .....
"Who are his parents?" I asked.
"That is rather a long story," she answered, "but I will tell you. On the day that Aphrodite was born the gods were feasting, among them was Contrivance the son of Invention; and after dinner, seeing that a party was in progress, Poverty came to beg and stood at the door.
Now Contrivance was drunk with nectar - wine, I may say, had not yet been invented - and went out into the garden of Zeus, and was overcmoe by sleep. So Poverty, thinking to alleviate her wretched condition by bearing a child to Contrivance, lay with him and conceived Love.
Since Love was begotten on Aphrodite's birthday, and since he has also an innate passion for the beautiful, and so for the beauty of Aphrodite herself, he became her follower and servant. Again, having Contrivance for his father and Poverty for his mother, he bears the following character.
He is always poor, and, far from being sensitive and beautiful, as most people imagine, he is hard and weather-beaten, shoeless and homeless, always sleeping out for want of a bed, on the ground, on doorsteps and in the street. So far he takes after his mother and lives in want. But, being also his father's son, he schemes to get for himself whatever is beautiful and good; he is bold and forward and strenuous, always devising tricks like a cunning huntsman"

Bharat P | | Speaking of Plato, here is some gyan on his guru Socrates:
A young man asked Socrates the secret of success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met.
Socrates asked the young man to walk with him into the river. When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and swiftly ducked him into the water.
The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled the boys head out of the water, and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air.
Socrates asked him, "What did you want the most when you were there?" The boy replied, "Air". Socrates said, "That is the secret of success! When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it!" There is no other secret.

Srinivasan Narayana Moorthy | | Am getting addicted to this thread ....
Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.
Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.
A man can be free without being great, but no man can be great without being free.
Rebellion without truth is like spring in a bleak, arid desert.
Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
The significance of a man is not in what he attains, but rather what he longs to attain.
You may forget the one with whom you have laughed, but never the one with whom you have wept.
Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.
It is slavery to live in the mind unless it has become part of the body.
He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
What the soul knows is often unknown to the man who has a
soul. We are infinitely more than we think
By losing your goal, you have lost your way.
There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
All that spirits desire, spirits attain.
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember.
Zeal is a volcano, the peak of which the grass of indecisiveness does not grow.
The highest virtue here may be the least in another world.
Life without love is like a tree without blossom and fruit.
We are expression of earth, and of life - not separate individuals only.
Safeguarding the rights of others is the most noble and beautiful end of a human being.
The envious praises me unknowingly.
And think not you can guide the course of love. For love, if it finds you worthy, shall guide your course.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.
To be able to look back upon ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice.
Strange that we all defend our wrongs with more vigor
than we do our rights.
What difference does it make, whether you live in a big city or in a community of homes ? The real life is within.
Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.
If you reveal your secrets to the wind you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees.
Coming generations will learn equality from poverty, and love from woes.
How shall my heart be unsealed unless it be broken.
Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.
Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.
A true hermit goes to the wilderness to find - not to
lose himself.
Strange, the desire for certain pleasures is a part of my pain.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you.
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
Knowledge cultivates your seeds and does not sow in you seeds.
Faith is an oasis in the heart which will never be reached by the caravan of thinking.
It is well to give when asked, but it is better to give unasked, through understanding.
Yesterday is but today's memory, tomorrow is today's dream.
Desire is half of life, indifference is half of death.
If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work.
One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night .
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song.
Hell is not in torture; Hell is in an empty heart.
Love possesses not nor will it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
Poetry is a deal of joy and pain and wonder, with a dash of the dictionary.
You are blind and I am deaf and dumb, so let us touch hands and understand.
Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.
Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.
Lovers embrace that which is between them rather than each other.
Knowledge is life with wings.
If I accept the sunshine and warmth I must also accept the thunder and lightning.
When Life does not find a singer to sing her heart she produces a philosopher to speak her mind.
Birth and Death are the two noblest expressions of bravery.
What is poetry? An extension of vision - and music is an extension of hearing.
The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.
The real in us is silent; the acquired is talkative.
Trust in dreams, for in them is the hidden gate to eternity.

Sankar Bala | | "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." (John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, aka Lord Acton of Aldenham, 1834-1902, English historian and founding editor of the Cambridge Modern History, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887. We've all heard the quote, but not many know its origins..)
"Compassion is not a sloppy sentimental feeling for people who are underprivileged or sick... it is an absolutely practical belief that regardless of a person's background, ability or ability to pay, he should be provided with the best that society has to offer." (Neil Kinnock, b.1942, Welsh Labour politician, from his maiden speech in 1970.)
"Once the last tree is cut and the last river poisoned, you will find you cannot eat your money." (Traditional saying, referenced by Joyce McLean in the Globe and Mail, 1989.)
"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow-creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again." (Variously attributed to quakers Stephen Grellet, 1773-1855, and William Penn, 1644-1718, and to Mahatma Gandhi, 1869-1948, Indian spiritual leader. This quote is also shown as a slightly different version, as below.)
"I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being, let me do it now.

This quote is also shown as a slightly different version, as above.)
"If you don't know where you are going you will probably end up somewhere else." (Laurence Peter, b.1919, Canadian academic and expert on organised hierarchies, from his 1969 book The Peter Principle.)
"There is hardly anything in the world that some man can't make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey." (John Ruskin, 1819-1900, English art critic and social commentator, thanks R Parker)
And some more lovely Ruskin quotes:
"There is no wealth but life."
"Better the rudest work that tells a story or records a fact, than the richest without meaning."
"To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance."
"Let us reform our schools and we shall find little reform needed in our prisons."
"The essence of lying is in deception, not in words." (See the Mehrabian item for related theory and explanation.)
"Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness."
(John Ruskin, 1819-1900, English art critic and social commentator)

This was a quote he made in Parliament. There was this woman MP who kept bugging him and attacking him every time he stood up to speak... so he started sitting down the moment she got up to talk... when she taunted him asking him if he was scared, he retorted -- "No Mam, I am just following the universal law. When the skirts go up, the pants go down"

-George Washington
Theres a miracle of friendship that
dwells within the heart
And you dont know how it happens
or where it gets its start
But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
Any you realize that friendship

“This is the manner of noble souls: they do not want to have anything for nothing; least of all, life. Whoever is of the mob wants to live for nothing; we others, however, to whom life gave itself, we always think about what we might best give in return…One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy.”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
19th century German philosopher

Srinivasan Narayana Moorthy | | "Realizations are of two kinds. One is just pep talk, great outbursts of emotion
and nothing more. The other is the product of a shift awareness; it is not coupled
with an emotional outburst but with action. "
"A leader never lets anyone know that he is in charge. A leader comes and goes
without leaving a trace. That freedom is what makes him a leader."
"I cannot lie to you, because a lie doesn't exist, I can tell you only about what
exists. In my world, only intent exists; a lie has no intent behind it; therefore,
it has no existence."
"Be impeccable. To be impeccable means to put your life on the line in order to back
up your decisions, and then to do quite a lot more than your best to realize those
decisions. When you are not deciding anything, you are merely playing roulette with
your life in a helter-skelter way."
"Impeccability, is not morality. It only resembles morality. Impeccability is
simply the best use of our energy level. Naturally, it calls for frugality,
thoughtfulness, simplicity, innocence; and above all, it calls for lack of
self-reflection. All this makes it sound like a manual for monastic life,
but it isn't."
"Warriors live with death at their side, and from the knowledge that death is
with them they draw the courage to face anything. The worst that could happen
to us is that we have to die, and since that is already our unalterable fate,
we are free; those who have lost everything no longer have anything to fear."
"Death is painful only when it happens in one's bed, in sickness. In a fight for
your life, you feel no pain. If you feel anything, it's exultation."
"Death is the only worthy opponent we have, Death is our challenger. We are born
to take that challenge. Life is the process by means of which death challenges
us. Death is the active force. Life is the arena. And in that arena there are
only two contenders at any time: oneself and death.If and when we move, it's
only when we feel the pressure of death. Death sets the pace for our actions
and feelings and pushes us relentlessly until it breaks us and wins the bout,
or else we rise above all possibilities and defeat death."
"Without a clear view of death, there is no order, no sobriety, no beauty.
Warriors struggle to gain this crucial insight in order to help them realize at
the deepest possible level that they have no assurance whatsoever their lives will
continue beyond the moment. That realization gives warriors the courage to be
patient and yet take action, courage to be acquiescent without being stupid.
It gives warriors the courage to be cunning without being conceited, and above
all it gives them courage to be ruthless without being self-important."
"Ruthlessness is not cruelty. Ruthlessness is the opposite of self-pity or self
importance. Ruthlessness is sobriety."
"Most of us are unwilling to accept that we need so little to get on with. We are
geared to expect instruction, teaching, guides, masters. And when we are told that
we need no one, we don't believe it. We become nervous, then distrustful, and
finally angry and disappointed. If we need help, it is not in methods, but in
emphasis. If someone makes us aware that we need to curtail our self-importance,
that help is real."
"To have compassion meant that you wished the other person to be like you, to be
in your shoes. The hardest thing in the world is for a warrior to let others be.
The impeccability of a warrior is to let them be and to support them in what they
are. That means, of course, that you trust them to be impeccable warriors themselves.
If they are not, then it's your duty to be impeccable yourself and not say a word."
"A warrior is never under siege. To be under siege implies that one has personal
possessions that could be blockaded. A warrior has nothing in the world except his
impeccability, and impeccability cannot be threatened. Nonetheless, in a battle for
one's life, a warrior should strategically use every means available.
"The soundness of the world is not the mirage, the mirage is the fixation of one's
awareness. When seers shift their awareness, they are not confronted with an illusion,
they are confronted with another world; that new world is as real as the one we
are watching now, but the new fixation of their awareness, which produces that new
world, is as much of a mirage as the old fixation."
"We share a metaphorical dagger: the concerns of our self-reflection. With this
dagger, we cut ourselves and bleed; and the job of our chains of self-reflection
is to give us the feeling that we are bleeding together, that we are sharing something
wonderful: our humanity."

Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hate.
It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.

Bratzy | | When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind.
When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind."
J. Krishnamurti, "Freedom from the Known," pp.51-52

Srinivasan Narayana Moorthy | | Few of them might already be over here, apologies for not checking which ones are duplicates ;) owe it to innate laziness ...
A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something
about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter
and triggers new ideas and insights.
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their
future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward
their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
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.
If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it's moving
you away from your goals.
If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task
they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given
your children the greatest of all blessings.
It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are
going.
Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and
farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your
thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.
No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from
scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who
have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to
achieve our goals.
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others.
Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"
The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help
others, the more they will want to help you.
The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek
opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that
you desire.
Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better
forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will
be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future.
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.
You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates
before you achieve anything worthwhile.
Your decision to be, have and do something out of ordinary entails facing
difficulties that are out of the ordinary as well. Sometimes your greatest
asset is simply your ability to stay with it longer than anyone else.
I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more
chances. Be more active. Show up more often.
You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates
before you achieve anything worthwhile.
Perhaps the very best question that you can memorize and repeat, over and over,
is, "what is the most valuable use of my time right now?"
A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something
about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter and
triggers new ideas and insights.
Practice Golden-Rule 1 of Management in everything you do. Manage others the way
you would like to be managed.
A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling of
confidence and personal power.
People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time
than people without them could ever imagine.
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."
Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel
awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new."
The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things
we fear."
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional
love and acceptance."
The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about
themselves, and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting total responsibility
for every part of their life."
Successful people are simply those with success habits."
Your company's most valuable asset is how it is known to its customers."
Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon a goal or goals
which they really believe in, which they can really commit themselves to, which
they can put their whole heart and soul into."
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and importance, although difficult,
is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.
Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.
Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing.
If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of very part
of your life.
When you engage in systematic, purposeful action, using and stretching your
abilities to the maximum, you cannot help but feel positive and confident abut
yourself.
Decisiveness is a characteristic of high-performing men and women. Almost any
decision is better than no decision at all.
Never say anything about yourself you do not want to come true
If you wish to achieve worthwhile things in your personal and career life, you
must become a worthwhile person in your own self-development.
Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.
The person we believe ourselves to be will always act in a manner consistent with
our self-image.
Relationships are the hallmark of the mature person.
Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience
The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help
others, the more they will want to help you.
Whatever we expect with confidence becomes our own self-fulfilling prophecy.
Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance
of the event.
Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to
guarantee your future
You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher
standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those
standards."
The glue that holds all relationships together - including the relationship between
the leader and the led is trust, and trust is based on integrity.
Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the
heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming
very good at it.
We will always tend to fulfill our own expectation of ourselves.
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their
future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward
their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
You have within you right now, everything you need to deal with whatever the
world can throw at you.
Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to
handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.
How much we like ourselves governs our performance.
The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent
unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled
toward some great good.
You have available to you, right now, a powerful supercomputer. This powerful
tool has been used through-out history to take people from rags to riches,
from poverty and obscurity to success and fame, from unhappiness and frustration
to joy and self-fulfillment, and it can do the same for you.
We feel good about ourselves to the exact degree we feel in control of our lives.
