Napoleon Hill

Professor G · 16th Jan 2012, 07:38 PM

Great quote Danlew. It reminds me of one I read recently that I couldn't find quickly. It went something like...

The greatest failure is not knowing how close to success you were before you quit.

Professor G · 16th Jan 2012, 07:53 PM

I just found it. I was pretty close at least.

“Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.”

"It's never too late for now."

It's not really considered an inspirational quote but it's a song lyric from the show 30 rock. A song that was made by Pete and Frank. The lyric became the theme of an episode for one of Liz Lemon. I won't go into detail about what the episode was about.

When I saw that episode I felt inspired to keep moving forward to achieve my dreams. I have been really depressed for a while for mistakes I've made and paths I should have gone down in my life. I have those words in my mind to keep fighting to keep the dream alive, to believe it can happen. It's never to late to reach for the stars now.

Rick Wagoner · 17th Jan 2012, 11:15 PM

"A good idea, which is put into play with intelligent activity will always do better, than an amazing idea, which is fussed over and either shipped too late or not at all."

~ Jim Connolly, Internet Entrepreneur

AppsFromHome · 19th Jan 2012, 07:41 AM

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. - Steve Jobs

I love this thread....helps get my day going.

I can really relate to this Steve Jobs quote....and I'm sure other Warriors who are full time in IM can too.

Robert Kim · 19th Jan 2012, 10:13 AM

"Doing something is better than nothing."

I'd love to check out a few more...

Thanks Robert!
