Inspirational

The following words, individuals and even fictional characters have served as inspiration to me, and I hope they may help you keep faith in your dreams and stay confident as you chase your own big idea.




Peter Lynch: "I cannot quantify the contribution that skeptics made to my performance, but I am sure it was substantial."





Nikos Kazantakis' Alexis Zorba - "It's all because of doing things by halves and saying things by halves, that the world is in the mess is in today. Do things properly by God! One good knock for each nail and you'll win through! God hates a halfdevil ten times more than an archdevil!"

Rocky Balboa on Life - "Let me tell you something you already know. 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 cause of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that, and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

Christopher Gardner (Played by Wil Smith): "Hey, don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something, not even me. Alright? You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it, period!"



Markos Kaminis: "In pursuit of your dream, you will have no difficulty finding skeptical opinion and contradictory advice, but in order to succeed you need only listen to one voice."
