The will is everything

The training is nothing! The will is everything! The will to act.

Henri Ducard (in Christopher Nolans ‘Batman Begins’)

DO NOT HESTITATE!

Yep, guys, Captain Caps and his shift crew have arrived. This is one of the strongest quotes in a while!

Act. Do. Work.

Act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done by hesitation.
Thomas Henry Huxley

So simple yet so profound.

How to do stuff

Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

Lou Holtz

Awesome quote and so true!

Be an example

Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them.

Randy Pausch

The motivation, the insight, the knowledge of the right thing to do is there, it is in everyone. But sometimes it needs a hint to discover it. So give people stories, give them quotes, be an example.

Keep going!

What keeps me going is goals.

Mahummaad Ali

Do you have goals? Believe me, you need them to keep going!

Muhammaad Ali once said that he hated every minute, every second of his training. But he always thought: “One day, I will be the champion and it will be worth the pain”

Ali is a good example for toughness because he went through years of practise before he made it to the top.

Keep in mind that you have to keep you goals in mind!

The difference between success and failure

Yesterday someone asks me what the difference between success and failure would be. I remembered this nice quote:

Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.
Edward Eggleston

Be persistent!

Be successfull!

You are measured by your actions!

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.
Henry Ford

It does not matter how smart your ideas or how great your plans are.

It does not matter if you are a nice guy or if you think of everyone as an idiot.

People measure your worth by your actions, by what you do!

You can’t say “But I just wanted to…”, “In the future I will…” or “I have sorted it all out…”. Noone gives a damn. And they are right, because if you would measure people by their dreams and what they have in their minds, noone would ever get his ass up and actually do stuff.

Why you should not regret things!

Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience.
Victoria Holt

Don’t regret! Use your past to your advantage, no matter what!

Respect yourself!

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

Confucius

Think about it. Would you respect someone who thinks poorly of himself? Not a chance. Respect yourself and know who you are and what you stand for!

Lead by example!

Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.
Dwight Eisenhower

If you try to push people, you will fail!

You have to lead people by example. You have to make them LIKE helping you out. If they don’t like what they are doing, it won’t end well.
