One of my favourite quotes is from Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the USA:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race!”
Persistence – perseverence – that’s what it’s all about!
REASON # 5 – You think that commuting time should
be spent reading a newspaper or listening to the radio.
If you commute to work, then you should be using your time
more effectively. You could be wasting the equivalent of one
day a week reading newspapers or listening to the radio,
when you could be working on your self-development.
If you want to read a novel…read it in your lunch hour.
This may seem harsh to some people…but you have to educate
yourself if you want to be successful…in whatever you do.
Personal development has a fantastic knock-on effect on the
rest of your life. By looking inward…you affect what is
going on outside in the real world.
– If you are happier…your relationships will be happier.
– If you are focused on your goals…then you will be more
focused at work.
– If you have a positive attitude…then people will become
drawn to you.
This “Law of Attraction” happens subconsciously. It’s one
of the best things about self-development.
Practice a little development often…and it will have an
amazing effect on your life and where it is going.
“The real winners in life are the people who look at every situation with an expectation that they can make it work or make it better.” Barbara Pletcher
Here’s a cartoon I did for a client for a calendar on Football/Soccer Motivation…
Visualise your way to success!
Here’s a few quotes that I found while researching….
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blue print, and begin to build.” – Robert Collier
“People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life’s circumstances to push them down and hold them under.” (Not sure who wrote this one!)
Or this one…“Losers visualize the penalties of failure. Winners visualize the rewards of success.”
“The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and an actualizer… He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen.” – Robert L. Schwartz
Doug DissOut dug this cartoon out of the archives.
I cam across this quote today and found I had illustrated it years ago…
When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us. – Alexander Graham Bell
Here are some of my ‘action’ quotes – hope you like them and the cartoon!?
Well done is better than well said. – Benjamin Franklin
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing – Albert Einstein
Action = Success
We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action. – Frank Tibolt
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied. – Arnold Glasow
Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold – but so does a hard-boiled egg. – Author Unknown
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!
