Running away from some monsters and having to leap a river of molten lava – there’s no time to think.You have to succeed to live – plain and simple!
I wonder if there was another way I could have illustrated this slogan? Let me know your thoughts!
REASON #1 – You never act on the information you read in
self-help books.
Reading the latest book by your favourite self-help author
may be interesting, even enlightening, but it is money
wasted if you just read the book, and do nothing else.
It seems that a lot of people want to champion the fact that
they have read “hundreds” of self-help books. For all the
good it has done them, they might as well have read hundreds
of novels!
You can get something out of every self-help book you read
…if you actually do something with the information rather
than just read it. By their very nature, these books should
be treated as life “User Guides” and dipped into at regular
intervals for inspiration.
If you do read a book from cover-to-cover make sure that you
have made notes about those “Ah ha” moments that you should
have had if the book has lived up to it’s promises.
The best thing of all to do is to summarize the book
yourself…by understanding the information on your own
terms you will be more able to focus on what you can apply
in real life.
I’m a great admirer of Gary’s work and have known him for years and love his ‘down-to-Earth’ approach.
“Those with goals tend to succeed because they are focused and know where they are going, while those without goals do not.”
Ted Karam
I always strive to do my best on any cartoon project I take on. And to remind me of this I have the below cartoon tacked onto my computer where I can see it all day long….
And while on the subject, here’s a few motivational quotes that I dug out…
“God makes three requests of his children: Do the best you can, where you are, with what you have, now” African-American Proverb
“Successful people aren’t born that way. They become successful by establishing the habit of doing things unsuccessful people don’t like to do. The successful people don’t always like these things themselves; they just get on and do them.”
“When you reach the top, keep climbing.”
“I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end”
Abraham Lincoln
Demand the best from yourself, because others will demand the best from you… Successful people don’t simply give a project hard work. They give it their best work. Win Borden
Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. Oprah Winfrey
Get Well – You Will IF YOU Repeat These Affirmations!
A client recently asked me for a GET WELL card design – something that would actually help if you believed in it strongly enough!
Here’s the design I came up with…
Don’t you think this would help you Get Well Soon as opposed to telling yourself every five minutes how bad you feel!?
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
