It's never too late to do something. - Carl Sandburg �Here, it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run twice as fast as that!� ~ Lewsi Caroll 'Alice in Wonderland' Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, "This I am today; that I will be tomorrow." ~ Louis L'Amour I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity. -- Hazel Lee Quotations - Links http://www.quotegarden.com/ http://www.quoteland.com/ http://www.quotationspage.com/ http://www.cyberquotations.com/ http://www.brainyquote.com/ http://www.houseofquotes.com/ http://www.thinkexist.com/ http://home.att.net/~quotations/ When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human All the windows of my heart I open to the day. ~ John Greenleaf Whittier Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think. ~ Chinese Proverb Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you. ~ Annie Dillard I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see. ~ John Burroughs The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there. ~ Monica Baldwin Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; don't walk behind me, I may not lead; walk beside me, and just be my friend. ~ Albert Camus Every exit is an entry somewhere else. ~ Tom Stoppard If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Truth is truth To the end of reckoning. ~ William Shakespeare Be silent, or say something better than silence. ~ Proverb Teamwork means less of Me and more of We. Swift gratitude is the sweetest. ~ Greek Proverb. "If you don't know where you are going, then it doesn't matter which road you take, does it?" ~ Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland The softest pillow is a clear conscience. In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities. ~ Janos Arnay Success is a long road. It's a short life. Don't wait. We rest here while we can, but we hear the ocean calling in our dreams, and we know by morning, the wind will fill our sails to test the seams. The calm is on the water and part of us would linger by the shore. For ships are safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for. -- Tom Kimmel & Michael Lille Character is like a tree and reputation a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ~ Abraham Lincoln The heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept were toiling upwards in the night. ~ H.W. Longfellow There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other ~ Douglas Everett http://www.cyberquotations.com/ http://www.cyberquotations.com/postcard.htm http://www.quotablequotes.net/ http://www.link4u.com/ 90% of your Life is decided by the Reaction you give to the 10% that happens in your life. You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person. The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express. ~ Francis Bacon Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow The secret of success is constancy of purpose. ~ Benjamin Disraeli Diligence is the mother of good fortune. ~ Cervantes "I would not sit waiting for some vague tomorrow, nor for something to happen. One could wait a lifetime, and find nothing at the end of the waiting. I would begin here, I would make something happen." - Louis L'Amour "I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work." -Thomas Edison Every man in the world is better than someone else. And not as good as someone else. - William Saroyan, writer (1908-1981) The harbours are safe, the anchor well-dropped, But it is the high seas that I have to adopt; The weather is stormy and the waves are shrill, I have to reach the shore and reach I will Dreams I know the road had been rocky lately, but things will start going better soon. I'll be there for you. I'll hold your hand and offer you a shoulder, and you'll get through this difficult time with shining colors. Never quit hoping, dreaming, and trying. Dreams do come true if you spread your wings and fly. I want you to know that I believe you. I believe you have what it takes to make your dreams come true. And I just want you to know that I'll be there beside you through both the good times and the bad times. I'll be your light and warmth when the road gets rough. I'll lend you a shoulder; I'll hold your hand; I'll encourage you when you hesitate. I know you can make it. Never stop trying! You never know what you can achieve or where your dreams will take you! Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. Just Do It! NIKE advertisement. Sooner or later, you start taking yourself seriously. You know when you need a break. You know when you need a rest. You know what to get worked up about and what to get rid of. And you know when it's time to take care of yourself, for yourself. To do something that makes you stronger, faster, more complete. Because you know it's never too late to have a life. And never too late to change one. IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! ~ Rudyard Kipling Friendship... Each of us has a hidden place Somewhere deep within ourselves; A place where we go to get away To think things through To be alone, to be ourselves. This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings, Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes, All our needs, all our dreams, And even our unspoken fears. It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we want to be. But now and then, whether by chance or design, Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was ours alone. And we allow that person to see, to feel and to share All the reason, all the uncertainty And all the emotion we've stored up there. That person adds a new perspective to our hidden realm, Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our special place, Where a bit of him will stay forever. And we call that person a FRIEND... One joy scatters a hundred griefs. - Chinese Proverb I like to focus my energies on positive things. - Steve Waugh Set your standards high You deserve the best. Try for what you want And never settle for less. Believe in yourself No matter what you choose. Keep a winning attitude And you can never lose. Think about your destination But don't worry if you stray Because the most important thing Is what you've learned along the way. Take all you've become To be all that you can be. Soar above the clouds And let your dreams set you free... "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main� any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." ~ John Donne Believe in Yourself sung by *N Sync on their Sesame Street appearance Oh you can be what you wanna be See what you wanna see Believe in yourself, just believe in yourself You can go where you wanna go Do what you wanna do Believe in yourself, just believe in yourself Some folks try to tell you there are things you shouldn't do But you're not strong enough, or smart enough at all But what seems right to them, quite often might be wrong for you So be sure you try to climb before you get to scare you'll fall You can be what you wanna be Learn what you wanna learn Believe in yourself, just believe in yourself You can try what you need to try No one should question why Believe in yourself, just believe in yourself Folks may say you're different That you've gone and lost your senses But the world is your to walk Go ahead and leave the fences And you'll see (and you'll see) Believe in yourself And the world belongs to you You and me And the world belongs to you and me I would not sit here waiting for some vague tomorrow or for someone or something to show me the way. One could wait a lifetime and find nothing at the end of waiting. I would begin here. I would make something happen. Our dreams have to be bigger our ambitions higher and our efforts greater. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there." - Jalaluddin Rumi Time Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to nought, or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the fields The tolling of an iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Our dreams have to be bigger, Our ambitions higher, Our commitment deeper, And our efforts greater. - Dhirubhai Ambani A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success. - Mahatma Gandhi The secret of success lies in hardwork. For every learning there is a cost. Talk less, work more. Actions always speak louder than words. You can if you think you can. This moment - the only reality. If you have confidence in yourself, the guts to take risks, the zest to innovate and a dream, you will not remain jobbers for long in a secure necktied environment. You will go out into the rough world and setup challenges for yourself. Go out and be entrepreneurs. Be irreverent and sceptical. Take risks. - Dilip Raote With every rising of the sun Think of your life as just begun The past is gone and buried deep All yesterdays, let them sleep! There are people who don't rest on their laurels... there are people who set their eyes on new challenges... there are people who go that extra mile... there are people who are above and beyond the ordinary ... and I wanna be one of them.

Take responsibility for where you are, who you are and what you are. Then take action to make it different. See yourself as a success Write down specific goals. Focuss on their accomplishment. Put action to your goals and stay with them even when it gets tough. If you ask enough, eventually someone will say yes. Start everyday as a winner! Hit the front door expecting something good to happen. Have no expectation of failure, only an expectation of success. When you expect success and take action on that expectation, you almost always get success. Once you know and practice the principles of success, they will work for you again and again. It's not environment or education or technical skills and ability that make you a success. It takes more. It takes the principles we so often overlook or take for granted. The abovementioned principles of success. River of Dreams... In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To a river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it�s too hard to cross And even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore And try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I�ve been looking for In the River of Dreams� For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win. ~ Dhirubhai Ambani (1932-2002) My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds, and challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction.

Do you fear the force of the wind, The slash of the rain? Go face them and fight them, Be savage again.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly - Henri L. Bergson |
