When you meet a man, you judge him by his clothes; when you leave, you judge him by his heart.

A bit of Sunday Courage
Courage is knowing what not to fear.
Plato
Courage is not absence of fear nor is it liking fear. It is to know your fears and to be able to live with them.
Know what you fear and know what certain things you just should not fear, no matter how you feel. You can do that, I’m sure!

Time will pass anyway
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

About self-discipline
He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
Lao-Tzu
Forcing others to do something you want requires strength, but is extremely easy compared to forcing yourself to do something. Think about the last time you had an argument with yourself and the lazy you won. Got one? Next time you will win! Become mighty, become disciplined!

Being remarkable
Don’t live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable.
Wendy Wasserstein
Try this: Watch yourself, watch your behaviour, your actions, your habits, and ask yourself -Why am I doing this? Am I doing this because I really want to or because everybody is doing it, because I feel this expectation that I should be and act conformable.
In most cases this questioning won’t lead to a change. You wont start reinventing your life, but as soon as questioning the purpose of everything becomes a reflex, you’ll recognize instantly when you drift from living your own life to living some different expectations. And nothing holds you back from being and acting remarkable…

What’s up with that attitude?
Your attitude is either the lock on, or the key to the door of success.
Denis Waitley
It can not be stressed enough: Attitude is so damn important!
It is the key element to success. Without attitude you won’t achieve anything!
Take education for example: While in school you always had a hard time learning for classes you did not like. You just could not keep that stuff in your head. Other things that interested you were no problem. That is so much attitude! Just tell yourself that you WANT to do something when you know you have to do it, but don’t start a job knowing that you do not wish to complete it.

Opportunities reveal themselves to the busy ones
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
Thomas Jefferson
The concept of luck is hard to discuss, but no matter what you think about it: The more you do, the more you work, the more possibilities and opportunities you will get. Opportunities don’t come to those who sit around all day doing nothing.
Get your opportunities, get going!

Do not stop learning!
Think you are smart? Well so do I. But guess what, being smart won’t cut it, you need to be more.
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
Never stop learning!
I don’t talk about school or university necessarily, but about learning in general. Never stop learning new things and always be open to new concepts!

You have a bright future ahead!
Never let your memories be greater than your dreams.
Doug Ivester
If you find yourself thinking about your past too often, there has to be something wrong.
While the past can be awesome and fun to look at you should never dwell in it because you live now and soon will live in the future. As long as you spectate your past self you are not going to achieve something with your present self. And in some years when you want to look back on your bright past you will have to look further and further away of your current position.
Don’t go there, be awesome now!
