Effort
(page 2)
My colleagues and I have gone in the footsteps of our predecessors since the very first day we were called by our people to care for their future. We went any place, we looked for any avenue, we made any effort to bring about negotiations between Israel and its neighbors, negotiations without which peace remains an abstract desire.
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.
Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.
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. From the moment we are given awareness about some bigger picture or mission, we have to have complete focus on what to do to get to that place.
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.
I wouldn't mind spending a little more time and effort and money on good skin care. And I'm sure they'll come out with, as they are doing, with more and more treatments that are noninvasive and healthy ways to keep your face looking as good as it can.
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.
