Good Reading Pt 2

8. Anybody who is afraid to look bad is a loser. He is the same person you can beat every time. CNN founder Ted Turner says: If you never quit, you‘re never beaten. Quitters have never won. Winning has nothing to do with how you look, it has everything to do with your tenacity and resolve to win. The question is not: How do I look? The question is: How am I going to solve this. Somebody says: People are strange: they want the front of the bus, the back of the church, and the center of attention. Winners know how to set their priorities right.


9. Most trouble is produced by those who don't produce anything else. They complain, criticize and suck up the life, and energy of other people. Be positive and be productive. This is the path to joy and happiness. A wise person says: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra!" Do your best work today and for the rest of this week. Do not be a painter, be an artist. Always give more than what you are paid for. This is the path to success. Facing difficulties? Two ways to meet them. Change the difficulty or change yourself. Life difficulties are intended to make us better, not bitter. And don't melt like butter.

10. People who are proud and self-centered are like arithmetic; they add trouble, subtract pleasure, divide attention, and multiply ignorance. Humility is always the better choice. You can get ideas everywhere. Paul McCartney says: "I used to drive out to John‘s house. He lived out in the country, and I lived in London. I remember asking the chauffeur once if he was having a good week. He said, I'm very busy at the moment. I've been working eight days a week.' And I thought, 'Eight days a week! Now there's a title.' “To have a great idea you need to have lots of ideas.

11. What you acquire by reaching your destination isn‘t as important as what you become by reaching your destination. There are many who have reached their goals but in the process has destroyed their character. This is not success. This is a great loss! We need to work on our character every day of our lives. I must do something will always solve more problems than something must be done. Use your initiative do not wait to be told what to do. Make things happen. Go and do it.

12. There are 3 questions we would not want to ask one day: What happened? How did I get here? What was I thinking? Life is a summary of the choices we make from day to day. Make sure you make the right choices every day. Mistakes are inevitable but they open up opportunities. Those who stay still do not make mistakes but they don‘t win either! So keep moving.

13. The mark of an intelligent person is his ability to simplify the complicated and the mark of stupidity is the one who complicates the simple. Life is simple. Love God love others. Bob Dylan says: A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do. Do you love what you do or do you only do what you love? Success is not only about doing what you love but learning to love what you do.

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.

BEING YOU...

I t's been said that the biggest enemy of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is "second best" . Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. We all do it or have done it at some point in our lives; we compare ourselves to others and gauge where we are based on what we observe them to be doing. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you tend to produce more results in your life, you are able to improve yourself, and get a better vision for your life . The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU . The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be cont...

Life Is A Passion or Its Nothing!

Most humans have allowed themselves to be conditioned by their problems, environment, and difficulties to the extent that they have lost their true identity and have believed their circumstances to be their destiny. The quality of an individual is dependent on the quality of his thoughts and passion.  Passion is powerful in life. You will be remembered in life only for your passions. A strong passion for any object will insure success, for the desire of the end will point out the means.  Most winners are "ex-losers" who got passionate. The worst bankruptcy in the world is the person who lost his passion. When you add passion to a belief, it becomes conviction. Conviction get more things done than belief ever dreamed. The starting point of all accomplishment is desire. Feeble desires bring feeble results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat.  Be passionate about your life. Every time zeal and passion are discussed, someone brings u...
