He wanted to be so many people all at the same time. He feared to be a nobody.Only years later did he realize that all he knew was what he didn’t want to be – a disappointment.

Some people aim at nothing in life and hit it with amazing accuracy.

It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be.

The worst to ever happen to a person who aims at the sky is to fall on the tallest mountain; the best that can happen to a person who aims at the ceiling of his room is to fall on the carpet of his floor!

Sometimes, you don’t get what you want the most… At other times, you’re just lucky.

You have to know your goal to reach out for it.

Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things–childhood, certainties,...

One can never rack up his goals mere through hard-work, there is a thing in this world which is known as self-confidence.

You have to want a thing enough to reach out for it.

What the mind can conceive and believe, and the heart desire, you can achieve.

Maybe someday, if I succeed at something, I’ll stop saying, “It isn’t fair” about everything else.

You can not have empty or neutral mind, as long as you work the mind will contain dreams, if you stop working it will contain regrets.

Your problem is in thinking the sky’s the limit. Why set limits?

Your youth is certainly finished and old age has definitely arrived if you feel that you are losing enthusiasm, excitement and energy towards your dreams and goals.

They say it’s impossible.I refuse to believe it. The journey may be difficult and the desired end unlikely. My patience and commitment may be tested by something that won’t happen overnight. It may be that I veer off the path or quit before reaching my goal, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible.

Keep going. No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself “there’s no point to carry on”, no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do it – keep going. Don’t quit. Don’t quit because a month from now you will be that much closer...

The real achievers are those who, in the dreary pit of sacrifice, still smile up at the goal.

Make today a gift to your future self.
