“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.” – Mark Twain
“I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those moments, that’s when you have a breakthrough.” – Marissa Mayer
“For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually’, just do it and correct course along the way.” – Timothy Ferriss
“Someone once said …. ‘Work is the bridge between dreams and reality.’ So just be warned: if you have big dreams be ready for a ton of work.” ~ Jared Leto
“I would rather die of passion than of boredom.” – Vincent van Gogh
“Hard work does not guarantee success, but lack of hard work guarantees that there will be no success.” – Jim Valvano
