Quotations for inspiration

“All of life is creating.” Dylan Smith, age 9.

This sentence sounds like from the bible, but I agree with this sentence that all of life is creating since life is full of miracle and creating. We can observe this from all the living organism in the world, such as a new offspring which is developed from only a spermatozoid and an egg and give us a complete organism that can eat, sleep, walk, etc

“I’m five-feet-four, but I always feel six-foot-one, tall and Strong.” Yvette Mimieux

The physical appearance of a person doesn’t really tell the whole story. Just like an old saying” you cannot adjudge a book by its cover” someone may be homunculus physically, but he can be a giant mentally. When a person is mentally strong and spiritually fulfilled, he will be a “giant” regardless of his physic appearance.

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” Francis Bacon

A lot of people complaining that life is not fair to them, the reason they never succeed is because they never had any opportunities. Some people maybe luckier than the others, but a wise person will never use this as an excuse for their failure. If the opportunities don’t come to us, we can use all the things we learned to create opportunities. When the time you find yourself trying to opportunities, you will also find out you are getting “luckier”, more and more opportunities will present in front of you.

“If you are doing your best, you will not have time to worry about the failure.” Robert Hillyer

There is no guaranteed success in life, sometimes, even you tried your best, you can still fail. But success and failure is just an outcome, what more important is that what have you done along the way. We cannot know for sure what is going to happen next, but doing our best in this moment, will put ourselves in the best position for the next moment. I used to know that one would satisfied oneself by doing everything the best, but even though when you are not lucky, you could fail. Also, because you did the best, you always are afraid to fail.

“Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional” Roger Crawford.

I don’t agree with this sentence. It is not inevitable being challenged in life, you challenged something or somebody because you want to prove your skill or something that you have, but you are conscious of what are you doing, you can accept or denied, it is up to you. However, being defeated means that you haven’t prepared well, or didn’t do your best to succeed. Also, nobody wants to be defeated.
