When we see someone successful, we say that he just got lucky.
"He must have been at the right place at the right time."
People only see one side of the picture. People don’t see the failures.

If you study history, you will find that -
All stories of success are also stories of great failures.
So if you are failing. Remember, success is waiting to happen. (c)

1. If we didn't live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.
Virginia Woolf

2. If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
Voltaire

3. In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
Lee Iacocca

4. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Oscar Wilde

5. Let deeds match words.
Platus

6. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
Helen Keller

7. Man is the only creature that strives to surpass himself, and yearns for the impossible.
Eric Hoffer

8. Move out man! Life is fleeting by. Do something wortwhile, before you die. Leave behind a work sublime, that will outlive you and time.
Alfred A. Montepert

9. Never mistake motion for action.
Ernest Hemingway

10. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
Robert F. Kennedy

11. Real unselfishness consits in sharing the interests of others.
George Santayana

12. Staying angry with you is how I protect myself from you. Refusing to forgive you is not only how I punish you: it is also how I keep you from getting close enough to hurt me again, and nine times out of ten it works - only there is a serious side effect. It is called bitterness, and it can do terrible things to the human body and soul.
Barbara Brown Taylor

13. The bare recollection of anger kindles anger.
Publilius Syrus

14. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Helen Keller

15. The most effective way to cope with change is to help create it.
L. W. Lynett

16. The ripest peach is highest on the tree.
James Whitcomb Riley

17. Think like a man of action. Act like a man of thought.
Henri Bergson

18. We boil at different degrees.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

19. We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Mother Teresa

20. When angry, count four; when very angry, swear.
Mark Twain

People are much like stained glass windows
When the sun is shinning through them, they glow brightly and sparkle

But when the sun goes down and it is dark and gloomy outside
Their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within. (c)

When life pushes you down, push back!
That’s what you’re here for.
You’re capable, you’re creative, you’re full of life and energy.
You have what it takes to move yourself forward around any obstacle.
Don’t let anything stop you.

Take strength from meeting the challenges, and move ahead.
The struggles you face are just what you need to fulfill your potential for greatness.

A year from now, when you look back at today, 
you’ll see that the problem you’re so concerned with right now,
was another valuable lesson waiting to be learned. (с)

Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness.
And at the end of the day you don’t look at it
and wish - you had painted something different. (c)
