You’ve got to have a positive attitude no matter what you’re doing!
“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect It’s successful outcome.”
-William James
“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.”
– Martha Washington
It’s all about having a positive attitude…
To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.” -Muhammad Ali
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is how having a positive attitude works: “Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.” Frederick Langbridge
Let me know if you have any ‘positive attitude’ quotes that have spurred you on!?
I thought you might like to see the cover of the book Peter Sinclair and I collaborated on…Smile Your Way To Success. Peter fed me the idea that some negative words were always trying to get into your head. I came up with this idea to repell them! There’s no way negative thoughts should be let into your head. Keep them out at all costs – even if it means wearing a cast iron helmet! The book is about 100 pages with a short motivational article and cartoon on each page.
Over the coming months I’ll be blogging further cartoons from the ‘Smile YOUR Way To Success‘ book.
Let’s build our success together! See you tomorrow!
This is one of around 100 short pieces that Peter Sinclair wrote and I illustrated with motivational cartoons from a book titled: Smile Your Way Yo Success!
Limbs encased in plaster and then suddenly released from their dark enclosure need a lot of exercise before they can get back into normal operation. So too are your talents, your mind and your imagination if you for some reason have neglected them. Many dreams have passed on with their owners to the grave through lack of use, but yet you can breathe fresh life into yours by rehearsing them in your mind and by living them out in your daily affairs. Once you have identified your strengths, then strengthen them through consistent use.
“The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.”
Napoleon Hill quotes (American author, 1883-1970)
“The ladder of success must be set upon something solid before you can start to climb”
“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.” – Ayn Rand quotes
“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.” Napoleon Hill quotes (American author, 1883-1970)
And a funny one…
“She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.”– Mae West
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
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!
