then do what is possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

On Attitude
“I don’t believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look
for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”
George Bernard Shaw
On Enthusiasm
“Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm.
Nothing great was ever achieved without it because
it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter
how frightening or difficult, a new meaning.
Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of
mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles.”
Og Mandino
On Altitude
“The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it,
but that it is too low and we reach it.”
Michelangelo
On Persistence
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men 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.”
