Earl Nightingale quotes about
Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service
On Christmas morning, our joy or our happiness can be at a very high level, not because of our anticipation of what we might receive but, rather, in anticipation of watching our loved ones open our gifts to them. 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.
Even if our home burns down we can rebuild it. But the things that we got for nothing, we can never replace.
Every-time we use a product or service, someone is serving us.
Without a goal we are much like the man with a boat and nowhere to go. Goals give us the drive and energy we need to remain on track long enough for their accomplishment.
You must radiate success before it’ll come to you.
Whenever we're afraid, it's because we don't know enough. If we understood enough, we would never be afraid.
A rut is a grave with the ends kicked out.
Your rewards will be determined by the extent of your contribution, that is your service to others.
Visualization is the human being's vehicle to the future - good, bad, or indifferent. It's strictly in our control.
Failures . . . believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances ... by things that happen to them ... by exterior forces.
Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.
Do what experts since the dawn of recorded history have told you you must do: pay the price by becoming the person you want to become. It's not nearly as difficult as living unsuccessfully.
