- Agoyangyang
I will make a list of my unique
talents. Then I will list all the
things that I love to do while
expressing my unique talents.
When I express my unique
talents and use them in the
service of humanity, I lose
track of time and create
abundance in my life as well
as in the lives of others.
Every person born in this
world represents something
new, something that never
existed before, something
original and unique. And
every man’s foremost task is
the actualization of his
unique, unprecedented, and
never-recurring possibilities.
— Martin Buber
Find a need and fill it.
- Ruth Stafford Peale
Business opportunities are
like buses, there’s always
another one coming.
– Richard Branson
Creativity is just connecting things.
When you ask creative people how
they did something,
they feel a little guilty because
they didn't really do it,
they just saw something.
... they were able to connect
experiences they've had and
synthesize new things.
-Steve Jobs
The real voyage of
discovery consists not in
seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.
- Marcel Proust
Tell everyone what you want to
do and someone will want to
help you do it. - W. Clement Stone
Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see the
whole staircase,
just take the first step.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
The path to our destination is
not always a straight one.
We go down the wrong road,
we get lost, we turn back.
Maybe it doesn't matter which
road we embark on.
Maybe what matters is that
we embark. - Barbara Hall     
When I dare to be powerful,
to use my strength in the
service of my vision,
then it becomes less and less
important whether I am afraid.
- Audrey Lorde
So many of our dreams at
first seem impossible, then
they seem improbable,
And then when we summon
the will, they soon become
inevitable.
- Christopher Reeve
Real difficulties
can be overcome;
it is only the
imaginary ones
that are
unconquerable.
– Theodore N. Vail
If I keep on saying to myself
that I cannot do a certain thing,
it is possible that I may end by really
becoming incapable of doing it.
On the contrary,
if I have the belief that I can do it,
I shall surely acquire
the capacity to do it
even if I may not have it
at the beginning.
– Mahatma Gandhi
For hundreds of years, the
population has been seduced,
scammed, and brainwashed
into fitting in, following
instructions, and exchanging
a day‘s work for a day‘s pay.
That era has come to an end
and just in time.
You have brilliance in you,
your contribution is valuable,
and the art you create is
precious. Only you can do it,
and you must.
I‘m hoping you‘ll stand up
and make a difference.
— Seth Godin
