“Self-pity is an acid which eats holes in happiness.”

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.

Find what you can do best that renders service to others and do it with all your might.

Time can’t be managed. I merely manage activities. Each night, I write down on a sheet of paper a list of the things I have to accomplish the next day. And when I wake up I do them.

Attitude is the reflection of a person, and our world mirrors our attitude.

Don’t catch the bad and infectious attitudes of others.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.

We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.

Always keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.

Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

The big thing is that you know what you want.

Visualization is the human being’s vehicle to the future – good, bad, or indifferent. It’s strictly in our control.

By being persistent, you’re demonstrating faith. Persistence is simply another word for faith. If you didn’t have faith, you’d never persist.

Most people tiptoe their way through life, hoping they make it safely to death.

We are all self-made, but only the successful will admit it.

We become what we think about.

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.

I am an engineer by profession, but I knew I wanted to act. My parents always encouraged me, and when my father shifted to Mumbai for work for a brief while, I came along.

Encouragement is awesome. It (can) actually change the course of another person’s day, week, or life.

Giving is the secret to a healthy life. Not necessarily money, but whatever a person has to give of encouragement, sympathy, and understanding.

You can easily determine the caliber of a person by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage him or her.

Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.

A true friend encourages us, comforts us, supports us like a big easy chair, offering us a safe refuge from the world.

All men die. You may say: ‘Is that encouraging?’ Surely yes, for when a man dies, his blunders, which are of the form, all die with him, but the things in him that are part of the life never die, although the form be broken.
