"MOTIVATION"

"Follow your intuition with conviction."
Written in 2010 by Errol Erin --- California
I believe a person's intuition to be his or her guiding light, yet so often we push aside our own intuitive impulses by our logical mind, rationalizing our intuitive thought as "not making sense" or being too far-fetched. Yet when we do follow our intuition, the rewards are unbelievable - not only are we surprised and happy that we made a good choice, but also we build our own self-confidence and strength in ourselves, which ultimately leads to further success, progress and happiness. Cheers!

"When life takes a 'U' turn towards infinity of negativism, turn it upside down and bend it towards a reason of hope. You will find your goal at the next bend."
Written in 2010 by Ratnesh Shukla --- India
Last year, I was jobless when the recession hit globally. I made a positive decision to turn my problem into perseverance by turning it upside down/inside out. I followed it religiously and now I am well settled. Hence, I thought to help others through the same medium and converted my action into words.

"It's not about the past, it's not about the journey; it's about NOW. It's about what you do with what you have, about being at peace with yourself, about giving everything you've got to get where you want to be. That's what I call success."
Written in 2010 by Leonard Frincu --- California
People talk a lot about what they went through, how hard it was and forget to focus in what they have now, the present, and what needs to be done to move forward and accomplish their dreams. I've been thorough a lot myself, coming from a communist country into the US, but I never complain about the past, always look into the future.



"If you measure your success by someone's failure, then you are also a failure. If you aim to be like someone else, then you are limiting yourself on what you can truly achieve. But if you aim to improve on what you have already achieved, I consider you a winner because winners always want to do well in what they do without limiting themselves."

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
Steve Jobs --- Submitted by Lauren Covington --- New Jersey
