Earl Nightingale quotes about
Preparation for life is so important. Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Opportunity is all around us. Are you prepared?
Each of us must live off the fruit of his thoughts in the future, because what you think today and tomorrow, next month and next year, you will mold your life and determine your future. You are guided by your mind.
You are, at this moment, standing, right in the middle of your own 'acres of diamonds.'
Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.
One thing a goal must do is fill us with positive emotion when we think about it. The more intensely we feel about a goal the more progressively we’ll move toward it.
The key that unlocks energy is desire.

The person with just one good idea is a thousand times better off than the person with no good ideas.

They have that one great quality that is worth more than all the rest put together. They simply will not give up! When a man makes up his mind to do something then it's only a matter of time. Staying with time take bulldog persistence. This seems to be the entrance examination to success - lasting success -- of any kind!
Every one of us is the sum total of his own thoughts

If you'll begin to develop and maintain an attitude that says yes to life and the world, you'll be astonished at the changes you'll see.
The only person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. That's the person who says, 'I'm going to become this' and then begins to work toward that goal
