Anyone can do any amount of work provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at that moment.
Robert Benchley
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. The slogan, Press on,
has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality.

My mother was in the Army Reserve for six years. She taught me the importance of following rules, finishing what I start,
never giving up, leadership skills, teamwork, staying positive, motivated and how to pack the military way when I'm traveling!
Laurie Hernandez
I can charge a man's battery and then recharge it again. But it is only when he has his own generator
that we can talk about motivation. He then needs no outside stimulation. He wants to do it.
Frederick Herzberg
It is only when a person has his own generator that we can talk about motivation. He then needs no outside stimulation. He wants to do it.

motivation, then you have right attitude toward others based on kindness, compassion, love and respect.

Sam Levenson
Women are naturally good motivators, good at juggling different projects and issues
at the same time, and more cooperative rather than aggressive and confrontational.

The ambition of the greatest men of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That
may be beyond us, but so long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over.
Jawaharlal Nehru
The common wisdom is that ... managers have to learn to motivate people. Nonsense. Employees bring their own motivation.
Tom Peters
Often we are caught in a mental trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are where
they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer look shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily
successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take action.

Robert Swan
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come.We have only today. Let us begin.
Mother Teresa
Tom said to himself that it was not such a hollow world, after all. He had discovered a great law of human action,
without knowing it - namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing
difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended
that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.
Mark Twain
People do not wander around and then find themselves at the top of Mount Everest.
