          Wow, some great quotes here .. love it

          Well let's look at the difference between Council and Opinion (as promised originally)

          When you seek council, you get advice from someone that has done it before and advises you based on his/her experience.

          Opinion is advice based on someone's personal opinion .. not something you can really trust I would say.

          Lets look at an example:

          I want to write a book and I can get

          -- Council from a publishing company telling me the exact steps that I need to follow to get my book published

          OR

          -- I get opinion from friends and family that say ... "You .. write a book, you can't do that"

          Have a good evening all

              i have a few, some that i think i invented, some that i read.
              said:
              dont dwell, do
              dont look up salad recipes when your trying to make meatloaf.
              standing on top of the mountain isnt as fun as the climb
              read:
              the harder i work the luckier i get

              and one that inst a success quote but it is for me:
              Man asks another "where do we go after we die"
              Man replies" i dont know, where are we now?"
              - To me to question this existence can really open up the world of possibilities and make me realize, reality is something we invented, and we can reinvent it if we work hard.

    I love...

    “When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and you're life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money.

    That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.”

    This is not a quote but a dialogue.. lil big

    The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that! - Rocky Balboa :p
    Signature

    Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.

    My Brother gave me this one on a piece of paper several years ago and it's probably the best quotation I've ever heard.

    I had to find out who authored it and it's by Ruben Gonzalez. (Three-time Olympian and peak performance expert.)

    www.thelugeman.com


    There is no such thing as failure. You either get the desired outcome, or your learn. No matter what the result, you win. The past does not equal the future. Every time we face a challenge we have a choice to make. Will we get bitter or better? Decide to get better. Face the challenge it's there to make you stronger. You will need that strength further down the road when you'll be facing even bigger challenges. The difference between people is there are those who are interested and those who are committed. The key to success in life is going from being interested to being committed. Once you are committed you will produce results. At the point of commitment, you mentally burn all bridges and you do whatever it takes to make it happen. That's when you become unstoppable.
