Danh ngôn của Orison Swett Marden (Sứ mệnh: 7)

A will finds a way.
The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment; it is not in luck or chance, or the help of others; it is in yourself alone.
The Universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson.
Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes - every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.
The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.
There can be no great courage where there is no confidence or assurance, and half the battle is in the conviction that we can do what we undertake.
No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone, no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation.
We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
There is only one thing for us to do, and that is to do our level best right where we are every day of our lives; To use our best judgment, and then to trust the rest to that Power which holds the forces of the universe in his hands.
It is like the seed put in the soil - the more one sows, the greater the harvest.
There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow.
Our thoughts and imagination are the only real limits to our possibilities.
There are powers inside of you which, if you could discover and use, would make of you everything you ever dreamed or imagined you could become.
Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance, the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.
A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.
Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Our trials, our sorrows, and our grieves develop us.
Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.
Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.
The golden rule for every business man is this: 'Put yourself in your customer's place.'
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.
Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.
One can make no better investment than the cultivation of a taste for the beautiful, for it will bring rainbow hues and enduring joys to the whole life. It will not only greatly increase one's capacity for happiness, but also one's efficiency.
Just try the effect of putting beauty into your life, a little every day. You will find it magical. It will broaden and light up your outlook upon the world as the acquisition of money or fame never can.
It is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.
Discouragement, fear, doubt, lack of self-confidence, are the germs which have killed the prosperity and happiness of tens of thousands of people.
It is just as important to set apart time for the development of our aesthetic faculties as for cultivating the money-getting instinct. A man cannot live by bread alone. His higher life demands an impalpable food.
If you would make the most of yourself, cut away all of your vitality sappers; get rid of everything which hampers you and holds you back, everything which wastes your energy, cuts down your working capital. Get freedom at any cost.
Economize in other things if you must, wear threadbare clothes if necessary, but never cheat your body or brain by the quality and quantity of your food. Poor, cheap food which produces low vitality and inferior brain force is the worst kind of economy.
A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work. Worry upsets our whole system; work keeps it in health and order.
Work faithfully, and you will put yourself in possession of a glorious and enlarging happiness.
Regard every suggestion that your life may be a failure, that you are not made like those who succeed, and that success is not for you, as a traitor, and expel it from your mind as you would a thief from your house.
Strength of will is the test of a young man's possibilities. Can he will strong enough and hold whatever he undertakes with an iron grip?
When we begin to desire a thing, to yearn for it with all our hearts, we begin to establish relationship with it in proportion to the strength and persistency of our longing and intelligent effort to realize it.
