Becoming great

You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard that you become great in the process.

Randall Munroe

Success shouldn’t be your goal, it’s just the reward for your passion, unique ideas and hard work.

Do what you want to see yourself doing!

You cannot perform in a manner inconsistent with the way you see yourself.

Zig Ziglar

Working against the way you see yourself may work for a certain time, but in the long-run it will kill you! Don’t fall into that hole, just do what you like to do!

Reach your boundaries. Define new ones.

Go as far as you can see; when you get there you’ll be able to see farther.

Trust, and it will make all the difference

With “dots” Steve refers to the moments that mark the way your life goes.

You can’t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something, your god, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow you heart even when it leads you off the well worn path. and that will make all the difference.

Steve Jobs

Big effort results in great pleasure!

The steeper the mountain the harder the climb the better the view from the finishing line.

Work hard and the results will satisfy you.

Work even harder and the results will make  you happy!

Care about your character!

Be your character what it will, it will be known, and nobody will take it upon your word.
Lord Chesterfield

Your character will always be ovious to other people through your actions. Therefore you should not trust that your words will people give a picture of your character but only your actions.

No matter how highly you think of yourself or how noble your ideas are, people will judge your character by what you do and especially what you repeatedly do! Always remember this lesson.
