choose to be strong

We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
- Carlos Castaneda

contribute to live

"When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die."
- Eleanor Roosevelt

beleive and it will be there

By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist, we create it. The nonexistant is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
- Nikos Kazantzakis

Take Risks

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
- Teddy Roosevelt

Be what u r

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.
- Margaret Young

career

Don't confuse having a career with having a life”
Hillary Clinton quotes (American Senator from New York since 2001 and First Lady (1993-2001), wife of Bill Clinton, 42nd US president. b.1947)

Career

Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
Oscar Wilde quotes (Irish Poet, Novelist, Dramatist and Critic, 1854-1900)

Career

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan quotes (American NBA Basketball Player, widely considered to be the greatest player in the history of the game, b.1963)
