“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; unrecorded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” – Calvin Coolidge
A long quote I saw on 4chan that I need to share. I don’t know the origin.
“We all have so much to learn from others. When you have friends, you can always have faith in them, and never underestimate what they can do for you. Selfishness and egoism is what keeps us alone. If you remain isolated, you will never get your individuality. There is a world above your walls you need to discover.
Having skills or a talent is great, being proud of it is even better, but it’s not a contest. Bragging about it and claim, convince yourself that “you’re the best” is an illusion. Being humble with yourself is the grant of your own dignity.
Give up with stereotypes and premashed concepts, reality isn’t made with boxes. Everybody is different, you should never underestimate someone’s talent or skills based on their social class or education before you see by your eyes what they can do.”
“In Greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound”. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards and forwards, it takes us to a place where we ache to go again.” — Don…
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.” – Bob…
