The World Motivation
Spending your money on things that give you pleasure once in a while is food for the soul.
“… As women get older, they become more powerful, more lucid, more sure of what they want. And that can be very challenging for a man.”
“… women are notoriously underpaid compared to men … Women tend to look for acceptance before compensation. A woman can be told that she’s loved, and needed, and brilliant, and wonderful, and that will be enough to hold her down. Women are hypnotised by that kind of language … Too many women … are still willing to settle for a stroke instead of a contract, a pat on the head instead of a substantial raise or bonus. Don’t do it. Dogs and children get pats on the head. Women in business get cash.”
“Technology is developing so rapidly that none of us can afford to get set in our ways. Instead of hoping that your world won’t budge, stay alert to the new possibilities that are emerging.”
“Another form of denial is to do with money. A woman may think she is financially secure because her husband is bringing home a good paycheck, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Ask yourself: Do you have control over your own money? Your own, not his.”
“… if I wanted inner peace and happiness, it had to come from me.”
“Only an arrogant man can sense arrogance in others.”
“Προτιμώ να γίνω στάχτη παρά σκόνη! Προτιμώ η σπίθα μου να καεί σε μια λαμπρή φλόγα παρά να πνιγεί από την ξηρή σήψη. Προτιμώ να είμαι ένας υπέροχος μετεωρίτης, κάθε άτομό μου σε υπέροχη λάμψη, παρά ένας νυσταγμένος και μόνιμος πλανήτης. Η σωστή λειτουργία του ανθρώπου είναι να ζει, όχι να υπάρχει”
“Never question your ability to succeed. God created you and destined you to achieve great things. He blessed you with seeds of greatness that lie dormant within. The question you need to ask is, "What can I do in order to activate these seeds?”
“You have limited time and needs.”
“That golden pin ball of a hare must be fresh dead! Thirty eight rabbits, seven squirrels, and one kitty cat D.O.A--MEEEEOOOWWW! Bippity bop-bop-bop bippity boo! I’m not no swineherd, my flocks a dead zoo! Won’t crunch on no crumpets, I slurp bacon stew! Ain’t dyin’ in one life, “my brothaaaa”, I’m livin’ two! Yo! Everything melts like grilled cheese in the grease of Old Blue! Old Blue! Old Blue! Everything melts like grilled cheese in the grease of Old Blue!” The Old Blue the character raps of…is money.”
“Woe be the one who hasn’t made it by age thirty. There is something ludicrous about setting the bar for making it at thirty when the average life expectancy is seventy-four. The truth is that each of us has the capacity, if we so desire, to follow different paths at different points in our lives - to put an end to one pursuit and begin another. When you understand that, you’ll see that there is no such thing as failure.”
“Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still have to keep on going and thank them for what they’ve given us.”
