Og Mandino

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

I am rare, and there is value in all rarity; therefore, I am valuable.

Obstacles are necessary for success because in selling, as in all careers of importance, victory comes only after many struggles and countless defeats.

Tomorrow is only found in the calendar of fools.

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be.

Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Do all things with love.

Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished.

To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
