It's never too late, for with a purpose, a worthy goal and a motivation to reach those upper layers on the pyramid, a person can travel further in a few years than he might otherwise travel in a lifetime.
Every great accomplishment of mankind has been preceded by an extended period, often over many years, of concentrated effort.
But the 3% who have taken the time and exercised the discipline to decide on a destination and to chart a course sail straight and far across the deep oceans of life, reaching one port after another and accomplishing more in just a few years than the rest accomplish in a lifetime.
Your rewards, all the years of your life, will be in precise proportion to your service. You are here to serve others, just as they serve you.
Do, each day, all that can be done that day. You don't need to overwork-or to rush blindly into your work, trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible amount of time. Don't try to do tomorrow's-or next week's-work today. It's not so much the number of the things you do but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that counts. . . . you need only to succeed in the small tasks of each day. This makes a successful day. With enough of these, you have a successful week, month, year-and lifetime.
If you spend an extra hour each day of study in your chosen field you will be a national expert in that field in five years or less.
If a person will spend one hour a day on the same subject for five years, that person will be an expert on that subject.
Each of us must live off the fruit of his thoughts in the future, because what you think today and tomorrow, next month and next year, you will mold your life and determine your future. You are guided by your mind.
People are where they are because that is exactly where they really want to be - whether they will admit that or not.
You'll find boredom where there is an absence of a good idea.
Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Dont wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether its at work or with your family.
We must be the epitome-the embodiment-of success. 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.
Never compete, create.
