Compared with what we ought to be,
we are only half awake. Our fires are
damped, our drafts are checked. We
are making use of only a small part of
our possible mental and physical
resources.
~ William James ~
4. Every truly
PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com
worthwhile
achievement has a
price tag. How much
are you willing to
pay in hard work,
patience, sacrifice,
and endurance to be
a person of
excellence? Your
answer is important,
because the cost is
great.
5. If you’re not stretching
PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com
yourself and your talents,
ask yourself why not?
And then do some-
thing about it!
6. Give up your small ambitions! Get
PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com
angry with your own mediocrity, and
then do something constructive to get
yourself out of the same old rut.
7. Most people in this
world can be
PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com
divided into two
broad groups.
There is that
minority which is
challenged by
opportunity and is
willing to work
hard to achieve
something, and the
majority, which
really does not care
all that much.
~Dr David McClellan~
8. Some people have greatness thrust upon them. Very few have
PDF Created with deskPDF PDF Writer - Trial :: http://www.docudesk.com
excellence thrust upon them…They achieve it. They do not
achieve it unwittingly by ‘doing what comes naturally’ and they
don’t stumble into it in the course of amusing themselves. All
excellence demands discipline and tenacity of purpose.

Always have the next
goal in the back of
your mind, since the
most satisfaction
comes from pursuing
a goal, not simply
from achieving it.
~ Ari Kiev ~

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not
near the beginning: and it is not given to me to know
how many steps are necessary in order to reach my
goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth
step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road.
Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the
corner.
~ Og Mandino ~

I will never consider defeat and will remove from my
vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable,
impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure,
unworkable, hopeless and retreat; for they are the words of
fools.

Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
