John D. Rockefeller "The common denominator for success is work." Confucius "Those people who develop the ability to continuously acquire new and better forms of knowledge that they can apply to their work and to their lives will be the movers and shakers in our society for the indefinite future." Elbert Hubbard "Dreams can come true, but there is a secret. They're realised through the magic of persistence, determination, commitment, passion, practice, focus and hard work. They happen a step at a time, manifested over years, not weeks." |
