Either write something that is worth reading
or do something that is worth writing
Ben Franklin
It is up to you to make a difference on this planet!
You can create value and therefore be an awesome human being. DO IT!

Ok folks, another year is ending and I hope you enjoyed 2011 as much as I did!
For 2012 I wish you only the best and to stay motivated at all times. Let’s make this our motto for the next year:

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.
Epictetus
It is very important to keep people around you that challenge you to be a better person.
People that challenge you to be the best you possibly can be!
There is a saying that tells you that you can get the personality of a person by looking at its three closest friends and there is a lot of truth in this. The people who you constantly spent time with change you in a lot of ways, their behaviour reflects on you and you will eventually be changed by them.
If you keep lazy people around you, people without aims, without dreams, without passion then your dreams will rotten. They will slowly die and it is damn hard to work against that.
So be careful who you hang out with. It really is a game-changer to actively choose your peer group in order to grow. Think about it, think about who you hang out with and see what you get out of that.

He who demands little gets it.
Ellen Glasgow
You can understand this quote in two ways.
It can be a claim to be modest on the one hand but on the other hand it warns you from aiming too low. Never do that!

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I will meet you there.Rumi
Sometimes it is important not to limit yourself to categories like right or wrong, good or bad…. to allow your mind to think freely.

Okay, this is pretty rough stuff, but it is motivating like hell, enjoy!
If things went all medieval and you had to fight a guy like me over your girl, I’d ravage your ass and take her. You okay with that?
When your girl is out with her friends, she’s checkin’ me out because I’ve worked to improve my appearance and it shows. You okay with that?
You think you’re safe out here in this world? You think it’s okay to be this unfit, lazy little monger? You know you’re not safe in your job, I’m sure. Every day you go above and beyond to make sure that the cutthroat guillotine of labor supply doesn’t mutilate you into an unrecognizable, unemployed piece of shit. Why do you think it’s different with your fitness?
How’d you get to where you are? People look at you and laugh. People use you as a benchmark to change their own habits. You okay with that?
Let’s get it poppin’, kid. No relapses. It’s kill or be killed out here: it always has been. Sure, we changed the rules a little and added our own little trifling sense of justice and morality. But nothing’s really changed.
Don’t be one of these assholes making pathetic reoccurring attempts to change their lifestyle. Don’t whine about it. You’ve got self-discipline and nothing else in this life. You’ve got one try: to fail once is to fail every time. In six months, you’re either going to be a pathetic, guilt-ridden failure, or a fucking tribute to human will. Your bitch of a mother-in-law will make comments like “I can’t believe it…” Your girl will get nervous about how much you can accomplish just by setting your mind to it and start asking you to tell her she’s good enough for you. Assholes who taunted you will have nothing… nothing… to say. You did something they either simply couldn’t even begin, or tried and failed miserably.
And then when my girl is out with her friends, she’ll be checking you out, motherfucker. Let’s do this!

There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.
David Burns
While other people or circumstances in general can bring happiness, it is you responsibility to be happy!
I don’t mean “feeling good” or having a good day, I speak of a deep, genuine feeling of happiness flowing through your body, embracing your soul. I know this sounds cheesy, but if you’ve been there you know what I’m taking about.
If you haven’t: Keep looking, it is worth the search. Genuine Happiness is more worth than liquid gold, genuine happiness is what life should consists of!

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.

There will be sleeping enough in the Grave.
Benjamin Franklin
Yep, we need sleep.
But ask yourself this: Do you need to sleep in again on 11 AM? Do you need to sleep in instead of getting out of your bed and getting stuff done?
I know it takes disciplin to get up early not only occasional but frequently, but it is damn worth it. Work on your skill to get up early, it will save you much truble in life!

If you don’t make mistakes, you’re not working on hard enough problems.
Frank Wilczek
It is NOT good not to make mistakes.
Why? Because progress requires making mistakes and learning from them. If you don’t make mistakes, you are doing it wrong!
