I have come across a number of interesting quotes that have triggered further thoughts and conclusions in my mind and heart. I'd like to share here. All of the quotes are in one way or another related to what I do on a daily basis. So. I hope you'll find some good inspiration in these quotes as well.
They don't have the Courage to Take the Hit! To move on, each person should have confidence in yourself. Most will stop halfway when facing difficulty to persuade and convince people to remain active. This because what they want is not as they perceive. When things go poorly, It takes more courage to be patient, to believe in yourself.. But most of us giving up or making a change is often the easiest way out. At some point we're all faced with a decision of whether to take a risk or not. If we are to do great things, we must always be motivated to take bold risks. Maybe that's why only few of us truly have the courage to take a risk. "Only those who play win. Only those who risk win. History favors risk-takers. Forgets the timid. Everything else is commentary." - Iveta Cherneva |
