Short One Liner That Had A Strong Impact On You

[RazorCut]

There are some great quotes here guys. Thanks a bunch and keep them coming.

One of my oldest memories of a quote that has stuck with me for life was from my father who died in my arms at the young age of 57.

Not long before that tragic day he said to me:

"Son, I gave the best years of my life to some bugger else, don't make the same mistake."

That should be sufficient but if you need any more incentive to plough your own furrow remember that if you are not working on making your dreams come true you are working on making someone else's.

"I’d rather be optimistic and wrong than pessimistic and right." -Elon Musk

Ha! I've got to show that to my better half - She's always sort of mocking me for being so "damn optimistic all the time" as she says. Your quote pretty much sums up why, I think.. It resonated, anyway.

I have a lot of quotes that swirl around from time to time. Right now one that serves me best is "Be of more value than them."

I'm sure there are similar quotes documented out there, but that's just what I tell myself as I work on my product.

Said to me by a fastlaner when I was complaining about a slump in my business: Just make more money.

At the time, it seemed trite. But I realized he was telling me that since I already knew how to get business, the solution was in my control. I just needed to stop getting in my own way, stop complaining, and get to work.

This is true in sooooo many areas of life not just the rat race.

I don't know whether I heard this somewhere or not, but when someone asks me "are you busy?" - one of my least favorite questions in a workplace, I used to answer "don't confuse movement with progress". Most folks couldn't understand the meaning of it. It is no surprise I found it difficult to fit into a team, lol.

Effort does not always equate to outcomes. Let alone desirable ones.

The wolf hunts better when he's hungry. - Dad (Yale, John Hancock Life Insurance Agent of the year 92-96)

You can't steer a parked car. - Step Mom (Director of Harvard Business School)

Hilariously enough, I didn't follow their footsteps. Instead of being a good kid going into the world of business, I went to the military, fought a war twice, became an offshore diver, became an engine builder, became a machinist, and finally landed full circle, when I was sick of all these "do what you love" action hero type jobs.

I didn't get into business or online marketing, until I was sick of these jobs that all sucked after their honeymoon phases. (Hunting hungry)

And I had to get over paralysis by analysis of the perfect idea. The idea is to get out and fail, in order to learn how to be better for the next time! (Steering the car)

Not a quote per se:

Whenever you tell yourself you can’t. You don’t have the skills. It’s impossible. You don’t know how. Give up. It’s too late. Etc...

Imagine yourself telling your own kids those things.

Imagine your kid tells you he wants to change the world and help a lot of people someday...

“Sorry son, but you can’t, the world just doesn’t work that way. You should probably give up on that dream right now.”

Just because you have the money to buy something, does not mean you can afford it.

MJ DeMarco.

Similar to “If you think you can afford it, you can’t.” Was that MJ as well?
