Arena-muda.blogspot.com - 25 Kata Mutiara Motivasi Keren dalam Bahasa Inggris
Berikut langsung saja disimak kumpulan quote mutiara motivasi terbaru yang nendang banget mungkin bisa memberi inspirasi.. Probably my most read post ever was the 25 Greatest Motivational Quotes of All Time.
1. “A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him” – David Brinkley
Too
many people when coming under attack crumble when instead they could
view that attack/criticism as a way to grow and mature and come back
stronger. Brinkley nails this aspect.
2. “Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure” – George Edward Woodberry
You
know that, right? Trying and failing sucks, but never trying because
you were scared of failure sucks about a gazillion times more. Don’t
fear failure.
3. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it” – W. C. Fields
This
may almost seem anti-motivational, but it really isn’t. Sometimes we
have to accept that we are on the wrong path and no amount of forging
forward will help. Sometimes we just have bad ideas that need dumping.
3. “Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts” – Arnold Bennett
Yes,
yes and thrice I say yes. That’s why this blog was originally called
The Discomfort Zone, because it’s almost impossible to change without
going through some discomfort. Embrace change, embrace discomfort
because if you don’t, you’re screwed.
4. “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude” – Maya Angelou
Sheer
brilliance because when you think about it, those are the only two
sensible options open to you. Sulking is not a sensible option.
5. “All men of action are dreamers” – James Huneker
I
suspect things have changed somewhat these days, but this quote is
aimed directly at parents and teachers who tell thier kids to stop day
dreaming. Don’t! In fact encourage them to let their imaginations run
wild.
6. “If we were to select the most intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and emotionally stable third of mankind, all races would be present” – Franz Boas
Amazing
huh? I was under the impression from media and the like that there
were entire countries of slack-jawed morons unable to tie their shoe
laces without falling over. Nice to know that’s not the case.
7. “Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are” – John Wooden.
I
think this quote is more relevant now than it’s ever been with the
explosion of Social Media. It seems to me that too many people spend
too long, trying to live up to, or create a reputation, rather than
being themselves.
8. “You grow up the day you have your first real laugh–at yourself ” — Ethel Barrymore
If you can’t laugh (without being snide) at yourself, then don’t laugh at others.
10. “There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness” – Han Suyin
Reminds me somewhat of the Dalia Lama quote “Be kind whenever possible. It’s always possible” And guess what? It is, so be kind!
11. “Truth becomes untruth if uttered by your enemy” – George Orwell
One
of my literary heroes and it perfectly sums up the us and them
mentality that so many people adopt, especially cross-culturally. Listen
with an open-mind.
12. “I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate” – George Burns
I
was successful in sales and I pretty much hated it. Financially
speaking I am nothing like as successful as a Life Coach, but I love it.
George was right.
13. “Everyone who’s ever taken a shower has an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it who makes a difference” – Nolan Bushnell
How cool is this? What did you do with your last great idea?
14. “The purpose of life is a life of purpose” – Robert Byrne
Dare
I mention values? Yes I dare, and this quote is rooted in the
importance of you knowing your own values and then acting on them.
15. “Unbeing dead isn’t being alive” – E. E. Cummings
I just had a
flashback to Bauhaus singing Bela Lugosis’s dead, but maybe that’s just
me. Existing is not the same as living and you were put here to live,
not exist.
16. “Our entire life – consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are” – Jean Anouilh
Any
other approach to life is going to fail. There is only one you and you
have to accept yourself with all your human frailties if you want to
be happy.
17. “No man is a failure who is enjoying life” -William Feather
I had to use this one seeing as my definition of success is somebody who is happy. What better yardstick can there be?
18. “A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts” – Harold MacMillan
I have had a few opportunities to become cynical with people and I refuse to accept them and so should you.
19. “I always trust my gut reaction; it’s always right” – Kiana Tom
Not sure if anybody can say their gut is always right, but I like the general idea and you’re gut is way smarter than you think.
20. “I believe fundamental honesty is the keystone of business” – Harvey S. Firestone
If
only every business adopted that policy, how amazing would things be?
Fortunately a few new companies are getting the idea that being honest
and treating their customers with respect is actually good business as
well as the right thing to do.
So what’s your favorite unknown quote? Let us know in the comments!
21. “I have to trust what I do and then do it” – Ednita Nazario
Yes!
Even if you’re not sure what you’re doing, even if the plan is hazy,
you can still trust yourself (and your intuition) and things will by
and large turn out for the best.
22. “Don’t look any further than your own reflection for a hero” – Allyson Partridge
Tis true. You are the hero of your life’s story, so start acting like it!
My
strength did not come from lifting weights. My strength came from
lifting myself up when I was knocked down” – Bob Moore Weightlifting
Champion
23. ” The ‘good life’ begins when you stop wanting a better one” – Nkosiphambili E. Molapis
I think it’s called being content with life.
24. “I am not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor do l feel that the world must live up to mine” – Fritz Perl
Fritz was definitely a bit on the edge at times with his Gestalt Therapy, but he nails this one.
