The special thing about quotes is that they don’t always mean the same thing to different people. I believe quotes could mean a thousand different things to a thousand different people. Therefore, what this means is that what a quote means to myself may mean something completely different than what anyone else thinks. Also, if you read a quote at different stages of your life, it could mean something absolutely opposite of what it once meant to you. For example, if you read a quote in your teenage years and then read it again when you were in your forty’s, more than likely this would have a completely different meaning to you than what it once did.
Aristotle once said, it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. This quote reminds me of what a respectful person would do. I personally think that

This quote has a great deal of meaning to it. I believe Mario Andretti is telling us what it takes to succeed. He starts with desire and then leads to determination and commitment. Without the desire to do something, I don’t believe it will ever become finished and if it does, then it will not be in the best of your ability. If you are determined to get something done, then you are going to be committed to doing it. Being determined and committed to whatever you decide to do is key to succeeding.
In conclusion, all of these quotes have been about leading towards becoming a successful person. From having an educated mind to working hard, being determined, and dedicated to having a desire, motivation, and commitment there is not much more an individual could do to be successful. Without these qualities, I personally don’t believe you can be a successful person. Therefore, these abilities are extremely
Having the mind and determination to become successful isn’t an easy task. Success isn’t considered a gift, it should be a hard task to achieve and it matters how it is accomplished. Success
Just like this quote has impacted my life and many others, many more quotes will impact the lives of everyone. Whether it be good or bad, it is up to us to decide what we accept to influence us. As we as seniors, move onto the next steps in our lives, it is important that we all have at least one great quote, which will stay with us
This quote gives me inspiration in almost all aspects of its very own definition. When I read this quote, I can feel a spark inside of me, a light flickers on and instructs me to stay determined and remain optimistic throughout any obstacle, challenge, or even triumph that occurs in my life. I know I can accomplish anything as long as I set my mind to it. Nothing can stop the power of the limitless human mind. This quote inspires me in the same way that the Sun’s gravity affects Earth. The Sun (quote) has a powerful force of gravity (inspiration), constantly applied to the Earth (me), causing the Earth (me) to stay on track and always drive
This quote shows that people can be different then they can be, people can ultimately change for the worst.
2. The main idea of this quote is that not everything inherently given to you is meant to be acted upon. For example, say a woman has been cheated on by her previous boyfriend. From then on, she is skeptical, and has trust issues with future lovers; Those of which cause her to believe that it’s okay to have all of their social media passwords, and forbid them from being friends with other girls. Sure, she has the right to do so; She has been hurt. But on the other side of the spectrum, her future boyfriends didn’t do anything to deserve that. This quote still proves useful today, because it helps readers see another perspective than theirs, and question their moral standpoint.
I feel that in order to achieve personal success in our society you need 3 key things. For one, you need to have determination. In our culture, we seem to have a universal ideology along the lines of “keep going, and you will succeed eventually.” I feel that these idea’s are incredibly true, and have been shown to be effective every time. A good example of this trait in one of the texts we read is in the Odyssey when Odysseus needed to get back home, and despite the odds being against him, he never gave up. He always kept going, and when the going got rough, he got back right up and started over again. Another trait is intelligence. Because we have gone away from warrior culture in modern times, academic success is more than mandatory to achieve
I believe everyone can be successful, if they put their mind to something. Sometimes in life people feel like they are not good at anything, but they don’t try to pursue anything. A lot of the problem is that they don’t practice. A person has to practice and work hard to get to a success level they want to be at.
For me this quote means that you always have to be the best version of yourself, and that in life there will always be sacrificces in order to be succesful.
“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are keys that will unlock the door to personal success.” In this quote, the Chinese philosopher Confucius states that to be successful, one must put all of their effort in, in order to reach the paths of success. In the memoir “The Pact” George reveals various important personal characteristics that led him to be successful academically and personally. Three significant characteristics that led him to be successful academically and personally were his wisdom in choosing friends, curiosity, and eagerness both academically and personally. One of the numerous essential characteristics that led George to be successful academically and personally was his wisdom.
Having the desire to be successful is one thing but without the doing the little things you will never get there. Successful people are committed to doing something every single day. Regardless of what is going on in their lives they work on their craft. They overcome the daily battle between procrastination and motivation. Every day, most people have a list of things they want to do; need to do; or should do; and what they don’t want to do. It’s these daily choices that are influenced by our discipline and
Though this quote may be taken literally by some, I believe it has a deeper, more substantive meaning that we can apply to
Most people in today’s society define success as someone who makes a lot of money or has done something important to help form today’s society. People such as Bill Gates or Donald Trump are considered successful because they have lots of money. Even actors whose lives are wrecked and destroyed are considered successful because of the money they have. Others, like Thomas Edison, are considered successful because of accomplishments they achieved in their lives. Thomas Edison, for example, created the light bulb, so most people would consider him successful. In his book, Think & Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill gives 13 steps on how to have the right mindset, attitude, and ability to become successful.
To me, this quote means that as long as you do what you want and follow your dreams, they will come true. I can somewhat relate to this because I am both cautious and careful at some things I do, and lazy and uncaring about others. So far, I have gotten some sort of success from how I behave, but sometimes it doesn’t work out and I regret it. This most likely relates to Mark Twain himself because of what he has done in his life, and the fact that this is his quote.
This quote by Shakespeare means that when we doubt ourselves or choose not to do something out of fear, we can lose opportunities to succeed. This quote is relevant to my life, because when I make important decisions I always second guess myself, which ultimately leads to lost opportunities. My thoughts can be my own worst enemy at times, and they have prevented me from taking chances. I regret when I have doubted myself in the past because I have realized you only live life once, and some of the things I have refrained from I may never get a chance to do again. This quote helped me realize I should take chances even if I'm afraid, and I should stop overthinking things.
Success or failure in life is created by how you think. A mindset that is fixed in stone believing you either have talents and abilities or you don't leads to failure.
