I'll start off

"Want to be successful? Get off your ass and do something then."

Just something I was told by my parents. Not in that tone, but it is what they were hinting at (I had no job and was 18 at the time). Did it work? Hell yeah it worked. I currently run my own reselling business that I started with a whopping $500 of credit (can't wait for this Christmas season!) and studying for my Bachelors in Chemistry (2 more years to go!).

We could also go with Donald Trump's quote: "As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big." Completely agree with him. I'm always thinking about expanding my business, but everyone I know is telling me to cash out now, take that huge chunk of money I'll be getting and run! I refuse to do that. Go big or go home

If you don't mind me asking, what type of re-selling do you do? If you sell on eBay PM me, I wholesale some items that'd make you a killing during Christmas time.

Back on topic. I think everyone should check this article out.

Three rings of marriage are the engagement ring, the wedding ring, and the suffering.

He could be a motivational speaker or start his own "church" or something.

Mine is similar:

"Never be satisfied with what you achieve, because it all pales in comparison with what you are capable of doing in the future."

"There's always hope in life...followed by a slap in the face by something called Reality." - Chineseguy

Okay maybe this is not completely motivational.

headlee103 · 08-31-2010, 07:23 AM

Not necessarily a motivational quote, but it works well for me. I just had this put on the back of the new t-shirts I'm selling.

"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it."
Winston Churchill

What you do today is important because you're trading a day of your life for it.

also

If you aint cheatin' you aint tryin'.

MJC///M3 · 09-01-2010, 07:57 AM

not sure if one would consider it motivational....but def gives me goosebumps....(i'm a big fan of thoroughbred racing)...

"It was like the Lord was holding the reins...Secretariat was one of His creatures....and maybe whispered to him a "go"...and that horse really went....it was really an almost supernatural experience...it really was."

That is very good.

Not so much the 2nd one. If you were truly trying, you'd find a way to make it work within the rules.

A+ thread.... Dont really have much to add, but I certainly enjoy reading.

DMan11389 · 09-01-2010, 12:07 PM

Great thread! I loved the Will Smith video. I've read some other things by him and he's truly inspirational and knows the path to success and happiness.

Here's a quote I've always remembered. Actually read it in Esquire of all places...

"Man at his best... exercises unyielding passion and understands that incremental effort can yield exponential results."
