A person with victim mentality cannot find himself, his life mission, and go towards his aims

— Sunday Adelaja

Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping, like sand, through our fingers.

— Salman Rushdie

If life throws you a few bad notes or vibrations, don't let them interrupt or alter your song.

It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be.

— Sanhita Baruah

Keep going. No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself "there's no point to carry on", no matter how many people tell you that you can't do it - keep going. Don't quit. Don't quit because a month from now you will be that much closer to your goal than you are now. Yesterday you said tomorrow. Make today count.

Maybe someday, if I succeed at something, I'll stop saying, "It isn't fair" about everything else.

— Lois Lowry

Not that I would not, if I could, be both handsome ...and well-dressed, and a great athlete, and make a million a year, be a wit, a bons vivants, and a ladykiller, as well as a philosopher; a philanthropist, statesman, warrior, and African explorer, as well as a ‘tone poet’ and saint. But the thing is simply impossible… Such different characters may conceivably at the outset of life be alike possible to a man. But to make any one of them actual, the rest must more or less be suppressed. So the seeker of his truest, strongest, deepest self must review the list carefully, and pick out the one on which to stake his salvation. All other selves thereupon become unreal…

— William James

One can never rack up his goals mere through hard-work, there is a thing in this world which is known as self-confidence.

Some people aim at nothing in life and hit it with amazing accuracy.
