From Picasoo to Gates and from Sophocles to Forbes, each of these guys lived a unique and successful existence, so I felt these were words needed to be read by you!
Pablo Picasoo
“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.”
“Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.”
“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”
“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
“Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.”
Ernest Hemingway
“A man can be destroyed but not defeated.”
“The first draft of anything is shit.”
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”
“The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.”
J. Paul Getty
“If you can count your money, you don’t have a billion dollars.”
“Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.”
“If you can actually count your money, then you’re not a rich man.”
“The #1 guideline to success is you must be in business for yourself. When you work for someone else, you sell your time at wholesale to your employer, who then re-sells it at retail to the customer.”
“I’d rather have 1% of the effort of 100 men than 100% of my own effort.”
“Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil.”
Malcom Forbes
“Diamonds are nothing more than chunks of coal that stuck to their jobs.”
“The biggest mistake people make in life is not trying to make a living at doing what they most enjoy.”
“Failure is success if we learn from it.”
“It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.”
Sophocles
“Always desire to learn something useful.”
“Who seeks shall find.”
“Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.”
‘Success is dependent on effort.”
Bill Gates
“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.”
“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”
“If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.”
“If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure.”
