Found my favorite quotes:
These made me want to jump up and down and shout, “They are so right. I should follow their advice!” Is this another of my after-this-moment-I’ll-change-but-am-still-the-same-again-three-days-after thing? To be continue… then observe.
1. If you don’t hurry up and let life know what you want, life will damned well soon show you what you’ll get. – Robertson Davies
The curse word gave me a slight smile. If we don’t pick out the right path, and just wander along, it’s likely that the destination is a dead-end.
2. The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken. – Samuel Johnson
Hmm, now I know why it’s so hard for me to change. Mr. Johnson, thanks for giving me an excuse J.
3. Life shrinks and expands in proportion to one’s courage. – Anais Nin
No risks, no gain. Rejecting chances means a safe but empty life.
4. We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves. – Eric Hoffer
Yup…, think about those sleepless nights wasted on the net, plagued with the repeated words, “just five minutes longer.”
5. It’s a funny thing about life. if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. – W. Somerset Maugha
Don’t settle for the second best. Once you do, you give up any chances for the best. A person can be really strong. In theory. There’re an Ideal Me and the Real Me. The contrast between the two should be clear if I say that I hate the Real Me’s guts.
6. To follow without halt one aim, there is the secret to success. – Anna Pavlova
Keep on trying. Wonder if there really will be a book with my name on it on a bookshelf in the future? Probably if I self-publish one.
7. Little things affect little minds. Benjamin Disvaeri
I shouldn’t care about who does more chores. My mind is NOT little.
8. For every disciplined effort, there is a multiple reward. – Jim Rohn
I truly want to believe this. It’s just that improvement in writing skills isn’t as clear as that of an instrument or an avatar’s level. I still don’t see any fruits of my labor. It’s not if I’d been toiling much, anyway. What I’d been doing is shown in the previous examples (instrument and computer game). I’m trying to put more effort into the former and less into the later L.
9. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. – Aristotle
I like this one the best. It says all I want to say. I have nothing to add to it.
10. The best way out is only through. – Hellen Keller
Don’t go around obstacles, climb over them.
11. Only those who will risk going too far can possible find out how far one can go. – TS Eliot
I remember reading this on a mountain climbing ad. Pretty fitting.
12. Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image.
Same as number nine.
