success encouragement character
There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
motivational spiritual encouragement
Encouragement is oxygen to the soul. Good work can never be expected from a worker without encouragement. No one ever climbed spiritual heights without it. No one ever lived without it.
work tired should-have
People do not get tired out from working where work is intelligently handled. Work, if it is interesting, is a stimulant. It's worry and a lack of interest in what one does that tire and discourage. Every one of us should have our pet interests-as many as we can handle efficiently and happily. Our interests should never be allowed to lag or get cold so that all enthusiasm is spent. Each day can be one of triumph if you keep up to your interests-feeding them as they feed you!
cost decay warning
Nearly all our ills are the result of neglect in some way or other. And this truth may be said to apply to the ills of nations as well. Negligence is at the bottom of all decay. And decay always starts by showing little signs-or warnings. Then is the time to show interest and to be alert. There is nothing quite so easy as to neglect, and nothing quite so difficult as to repair that negligence. Negligence always carries a high price. It costs nothing to avoid it!
smart character giving
It's what each of us sows, and how, that gives us character and prestige.
mistake men secret
No one ever gets too big to make mistakes. The secret is that the big man is greater than his mistakes, because he rises right out of them and passes beyond them.
corporations hundred cents
No one owns you. One hundred per cent of the stock in your personal corporation belongs to you.
expectations tough problem
Always expect the best. Then if you have to hurdle a few tough problems, you will have generated the strength and courage to do so.
waiting deeds chance
Courage is heartworth making itself felt in deeds. It never waits for chances; it makes chances.
ambition destiny men
If a man does not work passionately - even furiously - at being the best in the world at what he does, he fails his talent, his destiny, and his God.
cynical individuality mediocrity
The business world worships mediocrity. Officially we revere free enterprise, initiative and individuality. Unofficially we fear it.
museums mind custodians
Museums are custodians of epiphanies, and these epiphanies enter the central nervous system and deep recesses of the mind.
