The positive effects of pressure

To achieve great things, two things are needed. A plan, and not quite enough time.

Leonard Bernstein

Awesome quote! And it is so true.

Having a tight time schedule creates the certain kind of pressure that just gets you to get stuff done. It forces you to get going, which can be extremely motivating.

Why the rush?

To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.

Shakespeare

Sometimes you just have to start slowly, working yourself into something.

Why rush things? Planning and good calculations are worth a lot more than impatient actions.

Actually George R.R. Martin said some wise words about this topic:

Plan big, don’t worry

Don’t fear failure. In great attemps it is glorious even to fail.

The way to get stuff done

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.

Ward

But please do not forget to sleep, loaf and play 😉

Just give it all!

If you are doing your best, you will not have time to worry about failure.

Robert Hillyer

This is an important one!

As long as you keep yourself busy with working towards your dreams and goals, you have no time for worries or problems. Once they occur, you are already making plans to overcome them.

That is the state of mind you want to find yourself in, get started right now!

Chose your companions

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.

Stop your excuses and get going!

If you wait for everything to be perfect according to your preconceived plan, then you may well wait forever. If you go out and work with the current of life, you may find that success comes from building upon small things.

Perspective

In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

Warren Buffet

This is true not only for business, but for life in general. In retrospective, most things seem clear and easy, while the future oftem seems clouded and misty.

Still, you should look forward, find your way, make a path that works for yourself. Do not expect your future to look as easy as your past. Instead work on a future that will sparkle bright once you see it as your past.

Dream big

A man with no imaginations has no wings.

Muhammad Ali

What you can not think of, you won’t achieve.

In order to become great, you first have to start thinking big!

Dream whatever you want, aim for whatever great goal you want, allow yourself the freedom to pursue whatever plans you desire!
