“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act on… must inevitably come to pass!”  Paul J. Meyer

“Winners do not expect to get something for nothing.  Winners are willing to give the time, effort, creativity and money necessary to achieve their purposes.  They know that any success worth having carries a high price tag and they gladly accept the opportunity to invest in their own success.  Winners exercise initiative; they do what is needed because they are personally responsible.  Winners never make excuses; they acknowledge their mistakes or failures and learn from them.  Winners carry out their responsibility to be and do their best.”
Paul J. Meyer

 

Those three things—autonomy, complexity, and a connection between effort and reward—are, most people agree, the three qualities that work has to have if it is to be satisfying - Malcolm Gladwell
