Here is a list of various “words of wisdom quotes” as I refer to them. They are designed to help you live a happier, healthier, productive life. I made a few of my own comments. But I wish that you the reader would comment your views/ believes as the reader on this list.
• Love your work then you will find pleasure in mastering it.
• Appreciate the many things that make your life so valuable.
I have found that a lot of people take for granted what they have, seeking more. When they have everything that need already.
• Act the part and you will become the part.
With time you can become anything you want to be you just have to associate your self that “being” exactly how that “being” would associate themselves everyday. Eventually you will be what you so desire.
• Don’t wait for the ideal time to do something.
Some people have many ideas and never pursue there ideas. Thus never having the reward of adding a piece of them to society.
• Be afraid of only standing still.
I think that one should continue to move forward, self development. Continue to educate themselves, strive to do more. This will ultimately help themselves to accomplish more goals that they never imagined they could accomplish before.
• Plan your work and work your plan.
In my own opinion I think that the number one reason that people don’t reach their goals is because. Well its not that they plan to fail its that they fail to plan ahead of time. One should every day take time to revaluate ones plans. Always go forth with putting your plans into action,Implementation
• It takes money to make money.
This is true but it is always important to make wise decisions on which investments are going to give you better returns. Always weigh your options.
• One who cannot tolerate small ills can never accomplish great things.
I think that you should never let the little things get to you. It’s really a waste of time. There are far more productive things that you can be doing.
• Make decisions based on the whole picture.
A lot of times we as humans fail to understand what is really going on. We need to take more time on certain things. And make the smart decision rather than the quick decision.
• Education is the most important aspect of society.
The way I see it you can never put a price on education. It is without a doubt the greatest investment you could ever invest in. Whether be time or money that you put down.
• Regularly examine your motives.
Do not fail to do this with every decision that you make. You must always ask your self why? Remember there is always a reason for everything regardless. The question here is it a good reason.
• Do something of your own design.
Most of us (humans) have always been original. That is why we have developed so much as a race. But that also means that we will not continue to grow for the future if we continue to use the same old ideas. Don’t give up on your own ideas and dreams.
• Do not become angry with people who do not agree with your opinion.
If you let other people get to you then you are not strong yourself. Don’t worry about what the spectators say. Focus on the ultimate goal and what you have to do to reach that goal.
• Leave nothing for tomorrow that you can do today.
I think that we always need to concentrate on the present. But don’t forget that the future is coming; plan for it at the same time. Do as much as you can with each and every day. You have to crawl before you can walk.
• There is no time like the present.
This is similar to the previous quote. There are many opportunities that pass our way ever day. It’s up to us to decide weather we want to act or wait. The question will.
• The important thing is not the triumph but the struggle.
To me this is very true. A lot of times it’s not where you’re at but how you got there. If you are doing great things chances are that you struggled to get there.
• Read as much as you can.
This will play a huge role in molding you into whom you are. Like I said before you can not put a price on education, in this case you cannot put a price on knowledge. The value is far more worth what you had to do to gain. So love books people.
• Sometimes things that hurt, Teach.
With that being said, I wanted to add that when you learn things through pain. It is the best way of learning it. Remember it’s the value in the end.
• Teaching someone to do something is like relearning it yourself.
At this point in your life you have definitely taught something to someone before. Not only did you remind your self how it works but you updated the “course” on when or how you learned it. The update was to add any shortcuts more efficient ways that you picked up with time. With that being said you may have even picked up something new that you did not recognize with before. Also if you think about it the reason that we teach is that one day the student will have more knowledge than the teacher.
• Weakness breads evil.
If someone is weaker then another person then that may lead to hate which will lead to evil.
• Every day is a clean slate.
I’m not sure that I agree with this to much, as your prior actions do have an effect on today in some cases. If you have any further opinions on this one please feel free to make a comment.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
It is true we must always ask for help it is key for you to accomplish your goals. But don’t get me wrong I’m one of those people that does not really ask for help. I think it’s more of a pride thing. I definitely will start utilizing this tool more often now.
• Surround yourself with people who are more intelligent than you.
With the last quote it is telling you to ask questions basically. What if the people that you turn to do not know the answers? In this case you are the one answering the questions. If you surround yourself with people who are more intelligent then you, you will be forced to grow. Think about a baby, from birth until five the baby is with his mother. And from just being around her the baby will learn more rapidly in this first five years then any other five year period in his/her life. Possible even a ten year period, but that’s just my opinion.
• Do it better the second time around.
Even if you didn’t fail the first time. There is always room for improvement the second time around. You must try for self improvement, and never disregard your mistakes.
• Experience creates knowledge.
Self explanatory
• Hold yourself at a higher standard.
Do not ever belittle yourself, and always do the best you can. Dream big because if you don’t then who will. -Jonathan Vida
