“For some people, their fear to lose is greater than their desire to succeed, so they end up doing nothing and their dreams become impossible.”

“I believe that everyone should have a dream and believe in it. Make it real, bring it to life. You’ll never regret trying. Trying is what strengthens your heart and delivers courage. Once you believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.”

“Imagine in vibrant, wonderful detail your heart’s desire—a reality only you can envision, an adventure only you can direct.Then cradle your creation. Caress it. Mold it. Coddle it until it comes to life.And when your precious treasure grows so grand as to steal your breath away, set it free for all the world to experience. For that is how you live your dreams.”

“Don`t allow ignorance to further enslave your destiny.”

“Doubts in your mind are a much greater roadblock to success than obstacles on the journey.”

“When the awareness of what is achievable brushes your life, your journey has begun.”

“No one can take the shot for you.”

“Fortunate are those who take the first steps.”

“So, I must be taken as I have been made. The success is not mine, the failure is not mine, but the two together make me.”

“It may take little time to get where you want to be, but if you pause and think for a moment, you will notice that you are no longer where you were. Do not stop—keep going.”

“Any fool can hope when success lies plainly in view. It wants genuine strength to hope when matters are hopeless.”

“My dreams are worthless, my plans are dust, my goals are impossible.All are of no value unless they are followed by action.”

“But in the military you don’t get trusted positions just because of your ability. You also have to attract the notice of superior officers. You have to be liked. You have to fit in with the system. You have to look like what the officers above you think that officers should look like. You have to think in ways that they are comfortable with.The result was that you ended up with a command structure that was top-heavy with guys who looked good in uniform and talked right and did well enough not to embarrass themselves, while the really good ones quietly did all the serious work and bailed out their superiors and got blamed for errors they had advised against until they eventually got out.That was the military.”

“Those who reach for the Sun, usually drop the world.”
