Earl Nightingale quotes about
Attitude is the reflection of a person, and our world mirrors our attitude.
Don't catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.
If your attitude toward the world is good, you will obtain good results. If your attitude is excellent, excellent will your results.
Don't take the attitude of waiting for people to be nice to you - be nice to them. Don't sit in front of a cold stove waiting for the heat. Put in the fuel. Act first.
For a person to build a rich and rewarding life for himself, there are certain qualities and bits of knowledge that he needs to acquire. There are also things, harmful attitudes, superstitions, and emotions that he needs to chip away. A person needs to chip away everything that doesn't look like the person he or she most wants to become.
Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.
We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.
People can and do change.

In fact, if we're not careful, we can fail to register sufficient excitement and joy upon opening the gifts we receive from others. We must remember that they are happiest at that time and to give them top billing, to stretch their happiness to its full length.
Your rewards will be determined by the extent of your contribution, that is your service to others.
Remember: Jobs are owned by the company; you own your # career !
Everything that's really worthwhile in life comes to us.
The key that unlocks energy is desire.
Some people act as if it were demeaning to their manhood to wish to be well-read but you can no more be a healthy person mentally without reading substantial books than you can be a vigorous person physically without eating solid food. Books should be chosen, not for their freedom from evil, but for their possession of good. Dr. Johnson said: "Whilst you stand deliberating which book your son shall read first, another boy has read both."
