Motivational Words Work!!

I like (oh no, LOVE!) reading motivational words. It helps me to cope with my study, give me new insight of life and make me feel good. Unfortunately, there is no such a thing as universally true motivational sentence, meaning to say, a particular motivational sentence may change someone's life but maybe it is just another sentence in another file in someone's computer memory. But for me especially, spending time to read and think about some motivational words everyday keeps me motivated and can achieve more and more. These are some motivational words that I like.

Motivation will almost always beat mere talent

The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation...The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.

It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer,the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Character is like a treeand reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

The tragedy in life doesn't liein not reaching your goal.The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

Victory belongs to the most persevering.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

Success is never final.Failure is never fatal.

I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word -- excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

Success will not lower its standard to us.We must raise our standard to success.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.

A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.

Yesterday is a cancelled check;Tomorrow is a promissory note;Today is the only cash you have,so spend it wisely.

How you spend your time is more important than how you spend your money. Money mistakes can be corrected, but time is gone forever.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Most look up and admire the stars. A champion climbs a mountain and grabs one.

The middle of every successful project looks like a disaster.

Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

I cannot give you a formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: try to please everybody.

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.

The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this. Irritations get into the shell... And when he cannot get rid of them, he uses the irritations to do the loveliest thing an oyster ever has the chance to do. If there are irritations in our lives today, there is only one prescription: make a pearl - And it takes faith and love to do it.


The bold-typed sentences are amongst my favourite quotes. I ve read those sentences more than 20 times and I still love to read them. It doesn't mean than I am too weak to live my life. I know that I am a very tough person. But even the toughest person in the world ever feel down sometimes and that's when the motivational words work best. Happy trying! =)
