First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Focus now!
Your focus determines your future.

What you focus on today determines the destination, where you will land in the future. Not exactly of course, but it gives a very clear direction 🙂

Take a risk!
Hey there 🙂
Playing it safe is one of the most common ways to fail
Elliott Smith
It may not be obvious, but it lies in the nature of humans that we like to play things save and fear change. Often times we chose living a mediocre and boring maybe even painfull life over a risky and adventureful lifestyle. But why? We can take a look at stars, at heroes in movies, at successful companies and we will see that noone of them decided to play it safe.
It is important to take risks and be open to change, a life of stagnation can never satisfy someone. So be open, see ‘obstacles’ as chances and take them! Are you ready to live your life to the fullest?

Edit: I just found this old treasure after 1 hour of desperate searching 🙂
Think outside the box!
Hey 🙂 could not post yesterday since I visited some friends and hat not time and no computer to do so, but here is todays quote, a good one for a rainy sunday afternoon:
You see things and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and say ‘Why not?’
George Bernard Shaw
It is about inventing incredible good things rather than copying the existing ones, because no matter how good you might be at imitating, you’ll always be the second person to do something.

The formula for success!
Hey, happy saturday 🙂
Still blogging from my Blackberry, so let’s make it short:
Would you like to give me a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success but it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.
Thomas J. Watson
That’s it for today, no need to support or explain this simple yet profound lesson.

Seeing obstacles from another perspective
Hey 🙂
I’ll make it short today since im blogging via Blackberry right now, which sucks to be honest 😀
Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve your conditions.
Jeethesh Sookoo
There are no obstacles that leave you teared down on the ground, at least not as long as you won’t let them! You can learn a lot from any obstacle and there is much truth in the shallow ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. But it is important that you consciously chose to improve and to learn something. Obstacles and hard situations can’t help you on their own, you have to drain the energy out of them! Take what is yours and make the best out of anything. Who said you were not allowed to be positive about shit happening to you? I say: go, get ’em, take what you can get and keep it up!
A bit unstructured today, enjoy it anyway 😉 make yourselves a nice weekend,
