Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces people into thinking they can't lose.

Bill Gates

"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish."

Steve Jobs


 
ā€œWhether you think you can or whether you think you canā€™t, either way youā€™re right.ā€

"Many men stumble across the truth, but most manage to pick
themselves up and carry on as if nothing had happened." ā€“


Winston Churchill
