Why Motivational Sayings?
Why do we like to read motivational quotes and saying, and
what does it have to do with brainpower, the subject of this
website? Reading great thoughts is a means of training the brain
for success. It is like installing useful programming. All of
us can probably benefit from inspirational thoughts and sayings,
so here are ten great ones.
"Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?"
I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?"
- George Bernard Shaw
"A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close
to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything
out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined
and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be
seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway
of life." - Celia Luce
"Be more concerned with your character than with your
reputation. Your character is what you really are while your
reputation is merely what others think you are." - Dale
Carnegie
"Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start
where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at
your command, and better tools will be found as you go along."
- Napoleon Hill
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny
matters compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo
Emerson
"Though no one can go back and make a brand new start,
anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending."
- Carl Bard
"I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling
you it's going to be worth it" - Art Williams
Motivational Sayings - Attitude
"Nothing on earth can stop the man with the right mental
attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the
man with the wrong mental attitude." - Thomas Jefferson
"A person cannot directly choose his circumstances, but
he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape
his circumstances." - James Allen
"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If
I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing,
it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of
doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do
it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may
not have it at the beginning." - Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma)
Gandhi
Attitude "There is little difference in people, but that
little difference makes a big difference. The little difference
is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or
negative." - W. Clement Stone
Of course, a saying is only motivational if it actually motivates.
Hopefully one or two of these will have done that.
