An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever. we read to know that we are not alone. a room without books is like a body without a soul.books are the plane, and the train, and the road. they are the destination, and the journey, they are home. there is no friend as loyal as a book. if you don't like to read, you haven't fond the right book. reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.reading is an exercise in empathy, an exercise in walking in someone else's shoes for a while. no matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self chosen ignorance. reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. a good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever. a book is a dream you hold in your hands.
For building Your Dreams
Life is like a game of chess, to win you have to make a move. what you do today can improve all your tomorrows. Aim for the moon, if you miss, you may hit a star.the secret of getting ahead is getting started. the secret of success is to do the common things uncommonly well. I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have. nothing is impossible, the word itself says, I am possible. twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did. so throw off the bowlines. sail away from safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sail, explore, dream, discover. learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. all progress takes place outside the comfrot zone.you've got to get up every morning with determination if you are going to go to bed with satisfaction. if you don't build your dreams, someone will hire you to help build theirs. hod fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird, that cannot fly.hold fast to dreams for when dreams go, life is a barren field, frozen with snow.
For Confidence
To be beautiful means to be yourself, you don't need to be accepted by others, you need to accept yourself. don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.
beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, don't looking for a successful personality and just duplicate it. you have to be unique, and different, and shine in your own way. the greatest prison that people live in is the fear of what other people think.
I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone. not everone likes me, but not everyone matters. why would we ever want to prove critics wrong when their opinon never mattered anyway?whenever anyone has offened me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it. can you remember who you are, before the world told you who you should be. when people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand papaer, they may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished.elegance is the only beauty that never fades.
For Dealing with Pain and Stress
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. it's about learning to dance in the rain.
What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise. the pain you feel today is the strength you will feel tomorrow. for every challenge encountered there is opportunity for growth. success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
But man is not made for defeat, a man can be destroyed but not defeated. if you are not making mistakes, then you are not doing anything, I am positive that a doer makes mistakes.
the pain hasn't gone but I've learned how to live with it. there are two ways you can get through pain, you can let it destroy you, or you can let it as a fuel to drive you, to dream bigger, work harder. to conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. storms made trees take deeper roots. strength doesn't come from what you can do, it comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't. there is nothing wrong with being afraid, it is not the absence of fear, it is overcoming it. sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.
For Having Better Relationships
The greatest gifts you can give someone is your time, your attention, your love, and your concern. I like to listen, I have learnt a great deal from listening carefully, most people never listen. only those who care about you can hear you when you are quiet. we rise by lifting others. sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to be near them. the two most powerful words when we are in a place of struggle are metoo. people cry, not because they are weak, it is becasue they've been strong for too long.
never judge someone without knowing the whole story, you may think you understand, but you don't .
one of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and be understood. never underestimate the pain of a person, becasue in all honesty, everyone is struggling, some people are just better at hiding it than others.
The greatest of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity,and his ability to affect those around him positively. being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it will always get you the right ones.
For Positive Thoughts
There is nothging noble in being superior to your fellow man, true nobility is being superior to your former self. if your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world.keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. once we looked so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us. the pessimist see difficulty in every opportunity, the optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.
think beautiful thoughts and there will be no room for ugly ones.donnot cry because it is over, smile because it happened. you will never find a rainbow if you are looking down. be thankful for what you have, you will end up having more, if you concentrate on what you donnot have, you will never, ever have enough.
we are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
