One special gift that is often overlooked is the spirit of perseverance.
The man who keeps getting up each time he gets knocked down is far stronger than the one or thing that keeps knocking him down.
Nothing is wrong with dreaming on and on and on. However, you should know when to wake up and begin to work on what you have dreamed so far.
One special gift that is often overlooked is the spirit of persistence.
Even if you lose all you have, don’t ever lose hope.
If they call you a dreamer, ignore them and keep dreaming. I know of a lad who was called that — he went on to become a governor of Egypt.
If you’re moving forward, move on. If you’re not, make a move.
If money does not come your way, let it go its way. It brings wealth of misery to those it helps to eradicate misery of poverty.
Success is the biggest party on earth. But you must work real hard towards being invited to it.
Most of the people who attained success were those who had kept on going and going until they got to a point they realised it would have made no sense to stop going.
Nothing gives me greater hope like in seeing the new and fresh leaves of trees in spring. Three months before that, though, nothing would have caused me greater despair than the sight of denuded trees.
As a mere infant I narrowly survived a brutal civil war that took 3 million lives. As an adult I narrowly survived a horrific pandemic that took millions of lives. What else is there to survive? The challenges that increase with survival.
There’s no other way to look move forward, except to look forward.
Opinions are like drums; if you do not beat them, they wouldn’t sound. Let the world know your opinion on issues.
There’s no other way to move forward, except to look forward.
Hard-work, perseverance, patience — once these three wise men accompany you, you will surely get there.
In today’s troublesome world, people have learnt to sleep with one eye stoically closed to their problems and the other heroically open to face their problems.
Time has the greatest number of followers —including those who walk ahead of it.
For the underemployed, be comforted by the fact that the kind of work you are forced by bleak circumstances to do does not reflect your personality; it rather reflects the society.
If you crave genuine followers, then leave the well-paved, smooth road you have been walking on and walk on steep, rocky and jagged frontiers. Whoever follows you there, count on them.
There are times in the day when we loom larger than our shadows, and there are times they loom larger than us. And we have no control over both situations. If only we would learn to treat the vicissitudes of life that way, we would be more comforted. No situation ever remains the same.
When the good times stop moving, move on.
While climbing up, don’t look back, so as not be distracted or discouraged. Aim high always. Reach for the skies and grab your price.
What you owe your mind is relaxation. What you owe your body is exercise. If you don't workout, calories won't walk out. But make sure you're fit before keeping fit. And life goes on!
Keep on working until it works.
The moment you learn not to quit, you’ve already achieved something.
Pray to be led through whatever you’re passing through.
Letting go is moving on.
Before you get there, start here.
One thing that’s solely yours and that can never be taken away from you by anyone is the decision to always move on.
Never be afraid to take what’s entirely yours —like the decision to always move on, no matter the odds.
Treat rejections with utter contempt —like they don’t matter.
The moon does not look lonely because its light keeps it company. When lonely, let your thoughts keep you company.
If they remain with you during a storm, remain with them after the storm.
Do not get tired of searching. If there’s anything to get tired of, it should be the act of counting the number of times you have searched without finding.
Hope is the light you hold fast to when passing through darkness. With it, you will surely find your way. With it, you will surely find what you’re searching for.
Once you know where you are going, you can never get tired on the way to it.
When you believe in yourself, it’s a first step towards achievements.
When I look at life and the successes and failures therein, I just see the weather —all are unstable. So people should worry less when they fail.
