The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
Confucius
Action without prior thinking is not okay, but no action is not recommendet either. You have to act, only through your actions you can make a difference. Don’t brag about your achievements or stress people out by always talking about your plans. Speak less of your plans and instead get more of them done!

Having good plans is awesome. Being a good organizing mind is useful. But you have to follow through to make a difference.
You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.
Henry Ford
Don’t plan and forget, don’t promise and neglect. Instead focus on your ideas and plans and get them to work.

A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.
Arnold Glasgow
A good leader is not the loudest person of the group. It is the one that puts in the most work, the most preparation and the one who takes the blame if anything goes wrong.
He gives all people the feeling to be achievers themselves and works harder than anyone else without wanting extra credit for it.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
Sir Richard Steele
Reading is so important. It is not only an exercise that will bring you advantages, it is also damn enjoyable. Be it educative information or just a novel, you should always read at least one good book! But reading is even more.
How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book.
Henry David Thoreau
Think about how books have defined you in the past. Think about books that really changed you, books that really got under your skin. Those books are to be honoured and they are to be found so you must never stop reading everyday! There are enough awesome books to give you more than a lifetime of enjoyable reading time.
Reading will not only give you joy and pleasure but a great advantage in life experience. Yes, making own experiences is worth infinitively more, but you can not experience more than a lifetime by that. Books enhance your experience in a pretty fast time and give you much information you would have never found out yourself.

Be different than the others by making wishes come true.
This quote coming from a man who failed million shots in his life and was even kicked out of the high school bastketball team for being to bad is damn inspiring and helps you realize that you can do it!

Never discourage anyone…..who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
Plato
Don’t discourage people that are working on themselves! Motivate them or leave them alone but don’t you dare to speak low of someone who actually tries and makes a difference, no matter how small.

If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.

I do not like to repeat successes; I like to go on to other things.
Walt Disney
Success is nice and a great thing to have. But don’t dwell on it, don’t rest on it.
Success does not last, you have to succeed again and again. Continue your search for success every day, start new projects, discover new interests. That is the only way to stay truly happy.
Don’t be afraid of trying genuinely new things. Only through continuous change can one stay true to oneself.

Now is the time. Needs are great, but your possibilities are greater.
Bill Blackman
Think about a little child in a Toys’R’Us store, being able to get a cart full of toys for free. Look at that little human being, wanting everything and being totally excited about it! Now look at you. You are this child and the world is your Toys’R’Us. Too many pepple don’t see the awesomeness of our world of possibilities. They get scared and paralyzed by it.
There are endless possibilities, endless ways to be happy and live a fucking awesome life. Just decide what you want to try out and go for it, don’t feel bad, don’t be anxious, instead be bold and just do it.
