Published on Friday, March 26th, 2010 by Nohel Category: Career Development

As we get ready for a break this weekend lets try and not forget that which drives us most, ourselves. These quotes for college students and new professionals should help with inspiration come Monday morning! I know I need all the inspiration I can get right around then

Jessie Owens, four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics: “The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself- the invisible battles inside all of us- that’s where it’s at.”

Michelangelo on hard work: “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful after all.”

Virginia Satir on self-esteem: “The foundation of anyone’s ability to cope successfully is high self-esteem. If you don’t already have it, you can always develop it.”

Teddy Roosevelt on living: “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”

Carl Jung on Change: “We cannot change anything unless we accept it.”

Nikos Kazantzakis on believing: “By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.”

Luther D. Price on what you is: “Be what you is, not what you ain’t, ’cause if you ain’t what you is, you is what you ain’t.”

Pablo Picasso on success: “My mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general, if you become a monk you’ll end up as the pope.’ Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”

Have a great weekend everyone!
