A little motivation a la Mark Twain

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.”

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

 

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear”

 

“There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.”

 

“A habit cannot be tossed out the window; it must be coaxed down the stairs a step at a time.”

 

“Keep away from those who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you believe that you too can become great.”
