Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don't give up and don't give in." ~Wanda Carter

Your Competition Is With Yourself and No One Else » »
I never compete against the competition. The only one I compete
against is myself, because one day I will beat the competition and then
who will I compete against? – Billie Akauola
Greatness
Michelangelo was asked how he created his masterpieces. He replied that he simply saw the works of art embedded within the slabs of marble and then set about chipping away at everything that wasn't of that work of art. Which brings me to you. And your ready-made-greatness.
Greatness comes by doing a few small and smart things each and every day. Comes from taking little steps, consistently. Comes from a making a few small chips against everything in your professional and personal life that is ordinary, so that a day eventually arrives when all that's left is The Extraordinary. Just something to think about. From a man who wants you to shine.

Whatever your goal may be, if you create in your mind a clear image of the result you want and represent it to yourself as if you've already achieved it, then you will go into the kind of states that will support you in creating the results you desire.... you're not just a leaf in the wind. You can control your beliefs. You can control the way you model others. You can consciously direct your life. You can change --> Unlimited Power

Dhirubhai Ambani Sayings...
* Change your orbit constantly
* True entrepreneurship comes only from risk-taking.
* I am deaf to the word 'no.'
* For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win!
* Pursue your goal, even in the face of difficulties. Convert difficulties into opportunities. Keep your morale high, in spite of setbacks. At the end you are bound to succeed.
* My advice to young entrepreneurs is not to accept defeat in the face of odds. Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and
initiative will ultimately triumph. The success of the young entrepreneur will be the key to India's transformation in the new millennium.
* I have trusted people and they have put their trust in me. I have encouraged youth, and they have never let me down. I have asked my people to take initiative and to take risks.
* We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best -- not only the best in India, but globally.

Alexander Quotes:Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death.
In the end, when it's over, all that matters is what you've done
[to his horse] Come, Bucephalus. Today we ride to our destiny.
I promise you, one day I will beat you
Alexander to Hephaistion.
One day I'll be on walls like these.
“‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless, it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored.’” ~Louis C.K.
