Michael Jordan "If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." Elbert Hubbard "The best preparation for good work tomorrow is to do good work today." C. S. Lewis "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Les Brown "Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them." J. K. Rowling "It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default." |
