What do you want?

He who does not know what he wants rarely gets what he needs.

If you did not know what you want in the first place it would be pure luck to get something that you truly deserve. You should know what you want in order to work for it.

Resting on one’s laurels is bad

I do not like to repeat successes; I like to go on to other things.

Walt Disney

While success is always a nice thing to have it can get boring. Being successfull in only a few things over and over again is not literally bad but not half as fullfilling as succeeding in new areas.

Explore, find out what you like, try out new things and succeed at them!

Know your talents

Where your talents and the needs of the world cross lies your calling.

Aristotle

Everybody is very good at something. The important task in life is to find out what you are good at and where that skill is needed.

You can help the world by being awesome and having fun, you just have to find out who needs the skills you like.

Taking risks will be rewarded

Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is.

H. Jackson Brown

The best things in life don’t come to you without effort, they don’t come without taking risks.

Take risks in order to achieve great things!

Fail!

We learn from failure, not from success!

Bram Stoker

When you suceed you do so because you know something. You knew how something worked and therefore you were able to make it work.

You do not learn new things with success, it is rather the outcome of having learned new things.

You learn new things by failing.

Therefore fail often, fail well and have fun failing!

Be strong!

Strenght does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

Have a reason

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

Friedrich Nietzsche

As long as you have a purpose in life, as long as you have something to strive for every day, nothing can bring you down.

Mistakes will only bring you closer to your goal and unfortunate circumstances will turn out to be awesome challenges.
