I believe

I do believe. I believe in talent, determination and hard work. I believe that YOU are talented and that YOU can make a difference.

I believe that every person is born with talent.

Maya Angelou

This is not a stupid saying. Think about it: Every person is born with a talent. Talent meaning something you are good at and you like at the same time! That means you can make the world a better place by doing some job extremely well and at the same time you will be rewarded with a fun and awesome life.

But it is your decision. Don’t hold back, don’t settle for mediocrity! Find your passions and your talents and work on them. Practice, Practice, Practice!

Enjoy,

How to build up self esteem

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Ever found yourself lacking self-esteem or having trouble doing certain tasks that you felt you should be able to do?

I have a cure for that. Challenge yourself! Chose any given task that is a personal challenge, may it be going to the club alone, talking to strangers, building something, jumping out of a plane, whatever it is that you are scared of.

Take this task/challenge and go for it! Embrace your fear, embrace your uncomfortable feeling! You will push through, you will suceed and finally you will feel great, comfortable, full of self-esteem and courage.

Every once in a while you have to achieve tasks, you have to prove to yourself: I can do it! If your job or your hobbies don’t give you this good feeling of having achieved something than you have to add it to your life in other ways.

This is for example why video games or games in general are so popular. Achieving stuff, no matter how small, lets us grow as persons. We show ourselves and others: I still got it, I can learn to do something that I was not able to do before, I am awesome!

I dare you. I double-dare you! Go out and prove to yourself that you are in fact awesome!

I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

Walt Disney

Don’t take this literally, love who you want. But isn’t this quote amazing and powerful? This is the spirit you’ll need to start a legacy!

LOVE your work! If you do not love your current work see it as a stepping stone for your dreams. Earn money in order to realise your dream projects so that one day you’ll work for fun rather than for money.

Take risks!

You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Christopher Columbus

You should be willing to risk something you have, even if it is good, in order to achieve something better. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. But as long as you cling onto your old lifestyle you won’t make progress.

Keep busy!

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.

Albert Einstein

I think this quote was already posted some time ago and I did doubted its origin back then. I still do. Nontheless this quote is awesome!

You see sometimes there is this point where you don’t do much. You sleep a lot, still feel tired often, don’t have the energy to get even small things done and you just don’t feel good.

What you need is being busy! Do stuff, cram you days full with exciting things to do. Then chores like cleaning or cooking just happen alongside without you even noticing the work you put into them.

As long as you always have something to do and always something interesting to do, you will feel way more energetic than when you have 100% free time. Free time does not equal “Free” time.

Become an expert!

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.

Niels Bohr

Having wide spread interests is awesome. Also awesome is being genuinely good at one thing. Therefore find your passion and work till you pass out!

Becoming a professional means making mistake after mistake and not quitting. Then after some time you know more about your job than any other person because they quit at some point and you pushed through!

A core aspect of motivation

If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.

Steve Jobs

No matter what one thinks of Apple and their products, Steve Jobs was a genius!

This quote is especially important for entrepreneurs and bosses. Why? Because they have to motivate either themselves or their employees or both.

You do not have to push your employees to be awesome as long as they work on awesome projects. If they have some freedom and work on interesting projects they will gladly rip themselves apart for your company.

Same goes for yourself: Always chose awesome over mediocre! If there is the possibility for an awesome project that might seem too big at the first glance better take a shot at it than step down and do a simpler one. You can do it and the reward will be waking up every morning motivated and pumped to start the day!

Keep awesome and interesting projects on your bucket list in order to make your life fun and interesting, both for you and the people around you.

Don’t settle. Don’t be okay with mediocre. Go for awesome, go for legendary, go for your dreams no matter how crazy they may be.

See you at the top!

Don’t wait

Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

Sun Tzu

Missing out on opportunities in order to take better ones is okay. Waiting for better ones rarely works and is slow. Because taking opportunities always creates tons of new ones.

By taking opportunities you get to know new people, new places, new jobs and you automatically reveal new interesting opportunities.

So next time instead of turning down a “not so perfect” opportunity, think about it again and just take it if you don’t have any other things on your hands.

Get your ideas on paper and study them. Do not let them go to waste!

Les Brown

Don’t risk forgetting awesome ideas. Keep a notepad at your bed, keep a notepad in your pockets, always have something to write on.

Trust me, you won’t regret it, always have something with you that you can write onto by hand
