One of the Coolest Quotes of All Time

Hey Guys,

I've been having a difficult time with keeping my goals in
front of me; my lazy butt working. But here is a quote
(not from me) that I've read that has helped me out a
lot, and I thought you guys might enjoy it.

Comment on it, or maybe we could start up a thread of
quotes that are inspirational or something to keep us all
going.

Anyways, here is the quote:

"Failure will never overtake me if my determination to
succeed is strong enough."

That was taken from Og Mandino's "Greatest Salesman in
the World." It's a really good book, but that quote
always sticks with me.

Take care,
Bryan

 

I think that is really a good quote. Suitable for those who are being frustrated by the low traffic and low adsense income despite good efforts

 

Cool quote. We must never give up on our dreams even when the odds seem to be against us.

 

This just came to my mind right now: "Don't sell something that you yourself don't need."

I love quotations and the one quoted by askbryanmiller is really great.

 

Rjames that's a great one.

Here is mine: Choose your fate, do not accept it.

 

Got this off The Apprentice:

"Don't try to sell what's already been sold."

and also my favourite little poem

The Man Who Thinks He Can


If you think you're beaten, you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,

It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost;

For out in the world we find

Success being with a fellow's will;

It's all in the state of mind.



If you think you're outclassed, you are;

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself

Before you can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man;

But soon or late, the one who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

Enjoy.

 

All great stuff, I really like motivational quotes and I've also been collecting quotes for myself as inspiration and motivation so if any of you are interested, feel free to check out my collection at my site and feel free to add/comment on them.

 

Sweet qoute. And always remember you learn success from your failures as well. You will know not what to do anymore. But simply to improve.

 

"Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration" -Thomas Edison

"Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong."
"Murphy's golden rule: whoever has the gold makes the rules."

 

In this business you can get flooded with ideas and information overload. I keep this note posted above my computer:

Quote: Ideas without action are worthless.
Author: Harvey Mackay

Choose one idea and spend some time on it. If it works great, if not move onto the next.

Baby steps.

I like this quote from Mike Litman - I can't remember verbatim but it's something like this:

"When you get up in the morning - ask yourself...

"What's the SINGLE most important thing I could do today that would benefit my business or my life?"

Once you've got that clear, follow Nike's advice...

"Just Do It!"

Cheers,

Mike Cabarles

 

Just wanna add:

"the three most important aspect in business is location, location, location" - tommy hilfiger from the reality tv "the cut"

Maybe not one of the most famous quotes, but it certainly fits most days, lol!

 

My favorite:

“Born to lose, live to win.”
- Lemmy Kilmister (Motorhead)

Another good one:

“In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other.”

Also Lemmy.
