Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.

In the battle of life, it is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled, or where the doer of a deed could have done better.
The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; who does actually
strive to do deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion, spends oneself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at worst, if he or she fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are

The most common lie is that with which one lies to oneself;
lying to others is relatively an exception.

wealth

Wealth, like happiness, is never attained when sought after directly.
It always comes as a by-product of providing a useful service.

The best prize life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

  The deepest need of the human heart is the need to live for something more important and bigger than one's self. When you turn your life over to some kind of cause or crusade that involves adding value to human lives, you step into the highest
possibilities of the human being that you are.
Automatically, your life begins to work.

Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Life the life you imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler” 

Either they believe in me, trust me, and are willing to take the risk that I will deliver success, or they don't. It's that simple. There's no haggling. I don't negotiate.

your enemies

Pay attention to your enemies, for they are the first to discover your mistakes.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter
and those who matter don't mind.

the reason

The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith,
for to have faith is to have wings.

i will walk far and far to make sure i achieve my dreams (OLAWALE)

the nicest people

The enemies of the future are always the very nicest people.

People don’t tell you when they stop trusting you.

anytime

More than anytime in history mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness, the other to total extinction. Let us pray that we have the wisdom to choose correctly.

It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty.

Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others

The young man who has not wept is a savage,
and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.

do not fear

He who fears he will suffer, already suffers from his fear.

courage

  Courage is the price that life extracts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things. Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights, where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.

Management is no substitute for leadership, and we need new heroes.

  People excel and learn, not because they are told to, 
but because they want to.

You must do one thing you think you cannot do.

Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

All great ideas are dangerous.

We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.

a great believer

I am a great believer in luck, and I find the 

harder I work the more I have of it.

Walk slowly at a relaxed pace and you won't stumble.

what is authority

Authority is 20% given and 80% taken!

what is luck

Luck is what happens when preparation 

meets opportunity.

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life  is to unlearn what is untrue.

If you hit every time ... the target is too near 

or too big.

Intelligence is what we use when we don't know what to do, 
when we have to grope rather than using  a standard response.

When truth dies, really bad things happen.

  To be uncertain is to be uncomfortable. 
To be certain is to be ridiculous.

To wear your heart on your sleeve isn’t a very good plan;  you should wear it inside where it functions best.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are

The greatest lesson in life is to know that 

even fools are right sometimes.

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.

If we wait for the moment when everything, absolutely everything is ready,
we shall never begin.

1.   Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate,
   but through being the right mate.

the heart

The heart ... never thinks without a picture.

One day posterity will remember this strange era, these strange times, when ordinary common honesty was called courage.

No man can climb out beyond the limitations of his own character.

Be open to those who make you uneasy, for they are the true messengers of the future.

Blame nobody! Expect nothing! Do something!

Every artist was first an amateur.

Somewhere there is someone who dreams of your smile and who thinks in your presence that life is worthwhile. So when your lonely, remember that this is true:
Someone is thinking of you.

My interest is in the future because I will be spending the rest of my life there."

live

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."

Persistence prevails, like a stream that is temporarily blocked by boulders and then collects force enough to overflow onward.

Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.

It seems the bigger the organization and the larger the salary
the longer it takes to discern reality.

In times of massive change, it is the learner who will inherit the earth,
while the learned stay foolishly tied to a world that no longer exists.

Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current.
But the creator is the man who goes against the current. Men have been taught
that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man
who stands alone.

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change.

We can make as many mistakes as we want -- as long as we don't make the same one twice and we learn from those we make.

No one ever lost credibility by being interesting!

communication

Communication involves more than just "saying something".
Its real essence lies in "being heard".

what a man must have

For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him he must regard himself
as greater than he is.

as greater than he is.

The journey of life is always under construction.

All appears to change when we change.

By far the greatest obstacle to the advancement of the sciences and the undertaking of any new attempt or department is to be found in men's despair and the idea of impossibility. Let us then speak of hope, especially as we are not vain promisers,
nor are willing to force or ensnare men's judgment, but would rather
lead them willingly forward.

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance ...Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a more rare commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.

Character

Character is much easier kept than recovered.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

No student ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him;
it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required,
that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.

Some people see things as they are and ask - why? I dream of things
that have never been done and ask - why not?

As someone who has faced as much disappointment as most people, I've come to trust not that events will always unfold exactly as I want, but that I will be fine
either way. I trust that the challenges we face in life are always lessons
that serve our soul's growth.

Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food,
and tyrannize their teachers.

I'll work where my own nature would be leading;
it vexes me to choose another guide.

Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice; it's not a thing to be waited for, but a thing to be achieved.

The cultivation of talent is the route to independence and maturity.

your life challenges

Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

asking a question

Asking a question is only embarrassing just for that moment. Not asking is embarrassing and it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

what u think

If you think you are leading and turn around to see no one following,
then you are just out taking a walk.

Rational structures of control inhibit creativity

Rational structures of control inhibit creativity. Managing as if people had souls requires that we de-mechanize management and instill it with the diversity and depth of our own humanity. The point is to respect people and allow them to make the fullest contribution they can. We need more reflection in business not more strategizing. Meditation takes thinking even further because it allows for the wisdom of the heart to interweave with the knowledge of the head.

An Answered Prayer

I asked for strength,
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong;
I asked for wisdom,
And God gave me problems to learn to solve;
I asked for prosperity,
And God gave me brain and brawn to work;
I asked for courage,
And God gave me dangers to overcome;
I asked for love,
And God gave me people to help;
I asked for favours,
And God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted - I received everything I needed.
My prayer has been answered!

our life begins with our cry and ends with another cry,try to fill

this gap with as much  laughter as possiblelive life to the FULLEST

if there is an important task treat it as as IMPORTANT

you must do it today 

because every today surely becomes tommorrow

take matters into your own hands,your coverage can make all your wishes come true,fight for what you want and desire.

YOU NEED TO KNOW

If we only dwell in our comfort, the world will probably pass us by,
and nothing will change.
We may never become someone who we truly want
and  intended to be."
