It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
— Randy Pausch
The Man In the Arena
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
by Theodore Roosevelt
(From Citizenship in a Republic , a speech delivered in Paris in 1910)
Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
–Stephen R. Covey (from Seven Habits of Highly Effective People)
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

There is always a way out, it’s just a matter of how much effort you are willing to put into finding it.

At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And with steam, you can power a locomotive. One extra degree can make all the difference.

In a world of fugitives, the man taking the opposite direction will appear to run away

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
