Rust ruins more tools than overuse.

If hard work is the key to success, most people would rather pick the lock.

If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.

Technology is another word for "tool." There was a time when nails were high-tech.

PAST SUCCESS IS YOUR WORST ENEMY
Does your organization have a history of success? If so, you may be lulled into thinking, "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." RCA failed to see the impact of the tiny transistors that replaced bulky vacuum tubes in radio and TV sets. IBM misjudged the popularity of personal computers and network systems compared to more expensive mainframes. Western Union prospered with telegrams until telex machines speeded the interchange of information, and fax machines replaced both of them. In times of rapid technological change, success has a shorter and shorter life span.

"I'm not returning until you fix it," bandleader Count Basie told a club owner whose piano was always out of tune. A month later Basie got a call that everything was fine. When he returned, the piano was still out of tune.
"You said you fixed it!" an irate Basie exclaimed.
"I did," came the reply. "I had it painted."
Are you solving the right problem?

What is popular is not always right; what is right is not always popular.

Fear will make you hesitate. Hesitation will make your fear come true.

Adults are always asking kids what they want to be when they grow up because they are looking for ideas for themselves.

At first, people refuse to believe that a strange, new thing can be done, and then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done then it is done, and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago. English writer

Happiness is essentially a state of going somewhere wholeheartedly.

Every successful person finds that great success lies just beyond the point when they're convinced their idea is not going to work.

Opportunity knocks so many times that it has raw knuckles.

"When Abraham Lincoln was your age," the father told his son, "he used to walk 10 miles every day to get to school." "Really?" the kid said. "Well, when he was your age, he was president."

To belittle is to be little.

The world will belong to passionate, driven leaders people who not only have enormous amounts of energy, but who can energize those whom they lead.

I think that amongst young people today, this being the age of instant gratification, everybody wants it now. Young people today stop me all the time and in the space that it takes for the light to turn from red to green as you're standing on the corner, they want me to tell them in 30 seconds what's the key . . . The answer is, there are no shortcuts. You have to do the work, you have to be dedicated and kill yourself practically to get where you want to go . . . No one's going to give you anything. I found out that people who are successful are the ones that are truly in love with their art, the ones who persevere and have that grit. And the people who fall by the wayside are the ones who are in it for the money or want to be famous or what not.

Tears will get you sympathy. Sweat will get you results.

I used to be lost in the shuffle. Now I just shuffle along with the lost.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!
