What powerful quotes

I found this over at Tom Peters' weblog, and boy/ girl, what powerful quotes about living.

Let me note down those that I felt most powerful, in my map of the world:


“Have you invested as much this year in your career as in your car?”—Molly Sargent, OD consultant and trainer

This is so true, but hey - I invested a lot to become what I am now, and I will never look back and keep going on and on and on!

“Do one thing every day that scares you.”—Eleanor Roosevelt
So, as one famous company said: Just do it! Feel uncomfortable, as I wrote earlier, stretch yourself to the limits and enjoy life beyond your imagination!
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”—Gandhi
Stop criticising others and go inside of you and see, what things you have changed today, and want to change tomorrow. Because if you start with yourself, you resonate with mankind!!
“Nobody can prevent you from choosing to be exceptional.”—Mark Sanborn, The Fred Factor
Revolutionise your life and dream wild and vivid.
“It was much later that I realized Dad’s secret. He gained respect by giving it. He talked and listened to the fourth-grade kids in Spring Valley who shined shoes the same way he talked and listened to a bishop or a college president. He was seriously interested in who you were and what you had to say.”—Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, Respect
We surely can learn something from here, can we? Look around you and see, how respectful people treat each other. Reflect upon your own behavior - cut in someone's lane recently?
“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."—John Quincy Adams
Hello - does anyone listen? How much inspiration have you created in your employees or even children and partners today?

"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high
and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." Michelangelo
Good old Michelangelo surely got it right - stretch yourself, today, tomorrow and forever on!

“A year from now you may wish you had started today.” —Karen Lamb
Whoever Karen is, she is one smart woman! But I am building my dreams already - today and tomorrow, to reach my goals!
