Quotes
What surprises me most is “Man”, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he doesn’t enjoy the present; The result being he doesn’t live in the present or the future; He lives as if he’s never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.
Dalai Lama
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
Elon Musk
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
Steve Jobs
Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing.
Warren Buffett
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Jim Ryun
