Effort
(page 2)
Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.
All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.
Simplicity is the most difficult thing to secure in this world; it is the last limit of experience and the last effort of genius.
Individual commitment to a group effort — that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.
Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.
People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?'
Research has shown that it takes 31 days of conscious effort to make or break a habit. That means, if one practices something consistently for 31 days, on the 32nd day it does become a habit. Information has been internalised into behavioural change, which is called transformation.
A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.
When I write a goal down — and I truly write them down — it becomes a part of me. That's a contract that I sign with myself to say, 'I don't care what happens — I'm going to stay on this path. I'm going to try and see this through; I'm going to give it my best shot, my best effort'.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
We need to have complete certainty that things will work out, not because we are righteous or wise, but because of the time, the effort, the prayers, and the tools we are using.

The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.
Trees are Earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.
The Bauhaus strives to bring together all creative effort into one whole, to reunify all the disciplines of practical art — sculpture, painting, handicrafts, and crafts — as inseparable components of a new architecture.
Be kind. It's worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them. If you allow yourself to be somewhat curious — and if you get into the habit of doing that — it's the first step to being open minded and realizing that your points of view aren't totally opposite.
We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.
We will make every effort with utmost sincerity to achieve a peaceful reunification of the country.
