Do you know anyone who doesn't like quotes? Of course, who wouldn't like little "clever" sentences which are full of large and small quantity of wisdom which we want others to know. Motivational quotes can help us achieve a more fulfilling life by motivating and inspiring us. They assist us in reaching our dreams. Here are some quotes which can motivate us every day.
"Chance favors the prepared mind" ~Louis Pasteur
A month ago I dropped all the things which have no benefit for my development and started to do only the things which in reality help me to get a more planned and fulfilled future. This quote has inspired and motivated me to continue the only way in which I can really collect all the chances and opportunities waiting for me. My uncle has told me a very valuable thing or "story", he said that people through life are enlarging their rice plates and once in life there is the "opportunity", there is the time where our plates get filled. Our part is to work hard for one the time, for the opportunity when we can accept and eventually fill more rice that others. We must use our time very preciously and use every second for our development so that when the big opportunity comes, eventually so that we are ready.
- Change
"For every change there is the first step, the second step , the third step and after you don't even count ." ~HyunSoung Kim
I created this quote to help and motivate people when they want to change themselves positively. To change positively, we need to drop the negative things which are not always easy or hard as it seems depending on our mindset. Whether we think of it as a easy job or whether we already dropped that negative habit from our temptation mind. By accepting this quote we can realize that changing our negative or positive self are in fact more simple that we think. For example, when we want to stop playing video games, we overcome the first urge to play, the second and after it will be easier to overcome the temptation, or even the temptation may disappear completely from our minds, we won't even know that we overcome the negative habit, we will forget about it.
- Happiness
"Pleasurable childhood results in miserable future." ~HyunSoung Kim
I was looking for a quote about pleasure and happiness but I didn't like any, so I made this one. First time I realized about the difference between pleasure and happiness is when I watched the movie Dorian Gray". I think that it is a perfect movie for the people who have to realize that pleasure can not be connected with happiness. When people realize that, they will stop thriving for pleasure but rather work to reach the happiness. Happiness can not be felt so fast like pleasures, they need hard work, work which result in our personal development. Buy hey, all the real positive things can't be reached so fast, but need some work, where the negative things are opposite.
- Time
(Hilda Cang)
"You may delay, but time will not." ~Benjamin Franklin
On 25th March, I received an email from HyunSoung, an aggressive youth (you know I know) saying that he would like the two of us to collaborate an article on inspirational quotes, out of passion.
At first, I wondered, why this? But since SW has such option for people who want to invite another to co-write an article and because of George Bernard Shaw's famous motto : You See Things And You Say "Why?" But I Dream Things That Never Were And Say "Why Not?"
So I replied to HyunSoung in a matter of minutes to say "Yes, Why Not!" but I needed some time to prepare and he agreed.
The next day, I was, as usual, tied down by my daily routine and HyunSoung's collaboration writing can put aside. I was telling myself.
After my lunch, I was about to grab the newly bought Reader's Digest to flip a page or two before I dozed off and HyunSoung's message hit my mind. Surely I have no reason to procrastinate his project (our project) This is our commitment.There is no turning back. He has done his fair share and mine is still hanging back. Immediately I went to do some research and started jolting down a rough sketch.
Time, among other great things that God created, is one exceptional element He gives equally to mankind. Everyone has 24/7 but time waits for no one. You either make good use of it, be more productive or you lose it all to idleness.
Some people like to say "I don't have time" when you ask them to do something yet they can sit on the computer up to 8 hours playing games. That's really destructive unless they are writing blogs or other internet niches.
Samuel Smiles has one reminder: Lost wealth may be replaced by industry, lost knowledge by study, lost health by temperance or medicine, but lost time is gone forever!"
- Dreams
(Hilda Cang)
When I stumbled upon Susan Boyle's : I Dreamed A Dream at the Britain Got Talent, I was so overwhelmed by her talent. her voice captured me just as it captured the three judges' sheer ignorance prior to her singing, but the truth will set you free. Susan is but a real dreamer. I mean, at age 47, a spinster and carries with her a taste of the 1960s retro image and yet she has the guts to give it a try for that one thing matters most to her (singing) without fear. She didn't pay a high price for her achievement. She is updated overnight just because she has a dream, a passion of sort.
"Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition, there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born." ~Dr. Dale Turner
See! If dreams are renewable and no age limit, how wonderful it would be for everyone of us to freely make alteration of our dreams once there is any distraction to fulfilling them.
Dream on and become the subject of your dreams!
