Earl Nightingale quotes about
Successful people form the habit of doing what failures don't like to do. They like the results they get by doing what they don't necessarily enjoy.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now.
If you spend an extra hour each day of study in your chosen field you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less.
The big thing is that you know what you want.
It's difficult for people to come to the understanding that only a small minority of the people ever really get the word about life, about living abundantly and successfully. Success in the important departments of life seldom comes naturally, no more naturally than success at anything-a musical instrument, sports, fly-fishing, tennis, golf, business, marriage, parenthood, landscape gardening.

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal, the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious, will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.
The man who succeeds above his fellows is the one who early in life clearly discerns his object, and towards that object habitually directs his powers.
Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.
You are responsible for how your life turns out, and your attitude shapes that life for better or worse.

Remember: Jobs are owned by the company; you own your # career !
Control your thoughts. Decide about that which you will think and concentrate upon. You are in charge of your life to the degree you take charge of your thoughts.
Successful people are not people without problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems.
When the days are too short, chances are you are living at your best.
