Funny Thing About Life

 

Funny Thing About Life 

“Whenever I am in a difficult situation where there seems to be no way out, I think about all the times I have been in such situations and say to myself, "I did it before, so I can do it again.”

― Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

 

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.”

― Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

 

“It's a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.”

― Germany Kent

 

“Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up.”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

 

“Accepting oneself does not preclude an attempt to become better.”

― Flannery O'Connor

 

“Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live.”

― Criss Jami, Venus in Arms

 

“Failures are the stairs we climb to reach success.”

― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

 

“Happiness is part of who we are. Joy is the feeling”

― Tony DeLiso, Legacy: The Power Within: The Power Within

 

“Be an Encourager: When you encourage others, you boost their self-esteem, enhance their self-confidence, make them work harder, lift their spirits and make them successful in their endeavors. Encouragement goes straight to the heart and is always available. Be an encourager. Always.”

― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

 

“Missing a train is only painful if you run after it! Likewise, not matching the idea of success others expect from you is only painful if that’s what you are seeking.”

― Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

 

“Failure is constructive feedback that tells you to try a different approach to accomplish what you want.”

― Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

 

“There is no failure except in no longer trying.”

― Elbert Hubbard

 

“When you work on something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it does not matter how much harder you work – the most you will make is 5 dollars.”

― idowu koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

 

“I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.”

― Amelia Earhart

 

“There is great change to be experienced once you learn the power of letting go. Stop allowing anyone or anything to control, limit, repress, or discourage you from being your true self! Today is YOURS to shape - own it - break free from people and things that poison or dilute your spirit.”

― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

 

“You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it's enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up.”

― Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, and Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

 

“At the end, someone or something always gives up. It is either you give up and quit or the obstacle or failure gives up and makes way for your success to come through.”

― Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for all Africans: How Every African Can Live the Life of Their Dreams

 

“If you’re in the luckiest one per cent of humanity, you owe it to the rest of humanity to think about the other 99 per cent.”

― Warren Buffett

 

“The money you make is a symbol of the value you create.”

― Idowu Koyenikan, Wealth for All: Living a Life of Success at the Edge of Your Ability

 

“There is no progress or accomplishment without sacrifice.”

To Nature by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Poem, Summary, & Analysis)

  To Nature by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Poem, Summary, & Analysis)   To Nature   It may indeed be fantasy when I Essay to draw from all created things Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings; And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie Lessons of love and earnest piety. So let it be; and if the wide world rings In mock of this belief, it brings Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity. So will I build my altar in the fields, And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be, And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields Shall be the incense I will yield to Thee, Thee only God! and thou shalt not despise Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice.   Summary The speaker begins by acknowledging that it might seem like a fantasy when he attempts to find deep, sincere, and inward joy in all created things.
