Every
so often I enjoy a good dose of motivational and inspirational insights. Over the years many books that are filled
with such tips come to resemble each other.
A lot of these books are rooted in the teachings of Dale Carnegie but
they get their spin on timeless wisdom.
I recently enjoyed such a book, Rule
#1 Don’t Be #2: You Get What You Work For, Not What You Wish For by Daniel
Milstein.
Here
are some sample quips:
“Success
is never owned. It is rented and the
rent is due every day!”
“You
can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the
shore.”
“I
don’t stop when I am tired, I stop when I am done.”
“Whatever
you’re thinking, think bigger.”
“Today
I will do what others won’t do so tomorrow I can do what others can’t.”
“Focus
on your future, live in the present, and learn from your past.”
“You’ll
have a much greater chance for long-term success by constantly focusing
directly on what you want in life.”
“One
year from now, you’ll wish you had started today.”
“Some
people want their dreams to happen, some wish they would happen, and others
make them happen.”
“If
you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want will become the
sacrifice.”
“Don’t
be afraid to fail, be afraid to not try.”
“It’s
never too late to become what you might have been.”
“Winners
are not the people who never fail; they are the people who never quit.”
“You
are not a product of your circumstances.
You are a product of your decisions.”
“You
must know what your priorities are. Priorities are more than a daily or weekly
“to do” list; rather, they refer to those things that are most important to us
professionally and personally. They guide us as we establish a set of goals and
develop a framework with which to accomplish them. And as we remain focused on
our priorities, they also help us continue to make necessary adjustments in
order to reach our goals.
