(from a professor): If someone isn’t angry about your ideas, then you’re not leading the field.
Worry about the edges, let the middle take care of itself.
I’d like these even more if you cited the sources. Can you fill us in on that info? Thanks!
I feel like number 7 is missing a word. Or I don’t understand it. Can someone help?
I think what it means is that we all have limitations in our life but it is when we accept these limitations we are able to move past them and excel beyond them.
Your motivational sentences are great to adopt in our life and take lessons & move on.
How about: “A witty saying proves nothing.”
It’s not what you’re looking at that matters. It’s HOW you look at it that matters. Attitude is everything!

Find your talent – without it you’re a wallflower
Wish that Grandma told me how to find my talent though because I’m still squarely in wallflower field
I can't agree with #3. Even Judge Judy says that failure teaches you nothing about how to succeed because it robs you of your self-confidence. Failure shatters dreams, it doesn't build character. Successes teach us how to be successful; failure teaches us how to become depressed and dejected. It's an old cliche' that needs to be put to rest.
No, successes teach us what success is only because we have failed before. And yes, failure teaches us depression and dejection, but it is gathering enough intent for getting out of the depression what builds character. We can't learn to overcome failure if we don't ever fail… Everyone fails eventually anyway, so there's nothing to worry.
Failure might shock your self-confidence, but it doesn't have to rob it from you. You just need to perceive the shock and use it to your favor. Any failure will teach you something you didn't know about yourself. Learning where your limits are is the key to start pushing those limits.
I agree with you Carlos. Everyone experiences failure. It's part of life. How can you ever learn in life if you haven't had those setbacks. Yes, they drag you down, but you learn to realise the mistakes you made along the way, thus driving you forward to be successful.
The thing is – the most successful in people in life are also the people who have failed the most – the difference is that they pick themselves up and try again, and again, and again. It's not the failure that's the bad part, it's the accepting failure as the end all be all of things. If Edison was afraid of failure, he'd never have invented the light-bulb.
You shouldn't bother to listen to what Judge Judy has to say. She isn't the ultimate word of wisdom on everything; she's just a judge who deals with petty conflicts. Failure teaches you what not to do; those lessons are extremely valuable. Everyone fails; you'll get it right until you don't. It's the people who know the difference between failure and absolute failure that strive to do grand things. Stumbling along the way to greatness is common.
4 and 5…yep.
I agree with u carlos when u fail dust urself and move on.
No sentence ever changed my life…I did ;o).

We were born to die!
We were not 'born to die' we were born to Live! Yes, we ultimately die but that is not the purpose of our existence…..
What do you do with the intervening time between birth and death??? You have to grasp that time and do something not only to progress your own life but also help your fellow human beings progress theirs.
wow really nice.
The value of a man lies in what he gives, and not in what he is capable of receiving
Fantastic quotes! I am glad that I came across this blog. Thanks for sharing your awesome motivation and I look forward to reading more!
all this did was make me feel awful about my life.
some of the weakest quotes I have seen.
well, quotes are made by people, over their experiences, it`s normal that you dont share the same feeling
This may just be personal to me, but at a time I was driving myself nuts, a wise friend said, "If you were half as good as you thing you're supposed to be, the rest of us wouldn't be able to relate to you." Whupped me upside the head with my unrealistic expectations of myself and opened the way to self-acceptance.
I liked the simplicity of the Ten Sentences-they don't have to all be poetic. Lighten up, cynics.
Those are really Awesome.
