Sincere and honest development!

Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth.

To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.

Hard work creats identification

The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.

Vince Lombardi

The harder you work the more you will identificate yourself with your work, which makes it harder to surrender. That can be a good thing, because it helps being persistent, but it can make you blind and you could end up working like hell for nothing at all.

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.

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.
