Motivational Phrases

I have been receiving emails from Stephanie Goh of The Educated Mind since I attended John Kanary's seminar on 19th November 2005 at NACLI. The daily emails are called Insight of the Day that contained messages which were to inspire me every day. Here are some gems by famous people captured from the messages I got for the month of January.

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”

“The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.”

“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.

“Don’t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”
