Motivational Quotes for Work
Great businesses aren’t born overnight. Instead, they require consistent, committed effort to succeed – which means that you’ve got to find a way to maintain your passion over the long-run. Whenever you encounter doubts creeping into your mind, read through the following motivational quotes for work and reference the categories that are appropriate to your unique needs:
Goal Setting
Whether you’re still in the planning phases of your business or whether you’re plotting a plan of attack to bring about your long-range vision, setting good goals is a critical part of succeeding in business. Check out the following quotes for extra inspiration on how to turn your business dreams into reality:
|

“By recording your dreams and goals on paper,
you set in motion the process of becoming the
person you most want to be. Put your future in
good hands — your own.”–Mark Victor Hansen
------------------
“Give yourself an even greater challenge than
the one you are trying to master and you will
develop the powers necessary to overcome the
original difficulty.”–William J. Bennett - The Book
of Virtues
---------------
“The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and
actualizer… He can visualize something, and
when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make
it happen.”–Robert L. Schwartz
Excellence in Work
Once you’ve got your goals together, you’ll need
to put in 110% of your effort in order to transform
these visions into reality. To increase your
motivation to work at a consistently high level,
take a look at the following words of wisdom:
---------------
“Excellence is an art won by training and
habituation. We do not act rightly because we
have virtue or excellence, but we rather have
those because we have acted rightly. We are
what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an
act but a habit.”–Aristotle
------------
“If you are going to achieve excellence in big
things, you develop the habit in little matters.
Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing
attitude.”–Charles R. Swindoll

“Desire is the key to
motivation, but it’s determination and
commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal
— a commitment to excellence — that will enable
you to attain the success you seek.”–Mario
Andretti
------------
“The secret of joy in work is contained in one
word – excellence. To know how to do something
well is to enjoy it.”–Pearl Buck
---------------
“The quality of a person’s life is in direct
proportion to their commitment to excellence,
regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”–
Vince Lombardi
Determination and Persistence
Since every business or other endeavor is bound
to hit some rough patches, it’s often a person’s
level of determination and patience that brings
about either success or failure. Read through any
of the following motivational quotes for work
related to determination whenever you need an
extra boost of encouragement:
-------------
“Enter every activity without giving mental
recognition to the possibility of defeat.
Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your
weaknesses… on your powers, instead of your
problems.”–Paul J. Meyer

Leadership
Leadership is an important quality for businesspeople to possess, whether you use it to run your own company or simply to motivate others to follow your unique way of thinking. To boost your skills in this area, take your cues from the following renowned leaders and their most famous sayings: ------------
“The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born — that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.” –Warren G. Bennis ----------------
“All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.”–John Kenneth Galbraith
|

Leadership is not magnetic personality — that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not ‘making friends and influencing people’ — that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to high sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”–Peter F. Drucker ---------------
“The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already.”–John Buchan -------------
“High sentiments always win in the end. The leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.”--George Orwell
|
Success
Think of success as a holistic process – one which
results from the combination of goal-setting,
excellence, patience, determination and
leadership you prioritize throughout your business
career.
----------------
The following quotes from famously successful
business people reflect this reality, providing an
excellent source of motivation for whenever you
feel your spirits lagging:
--------------------
“Be patient with yourself. Self-growth is tender; it’s
holy ground. There’s no greater investment.”–
Stephen Covey
“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities!
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in
your own powers you cannot be successful or
happy.”–Norman Vincent Peale

Success consists of going
from failure to failure without
loss of enthusiasm.”–Winston
Churchill
“Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary
greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires
to reach their potential.”–John Maxwell
---------------
“Would you like me to give you a formula for
success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate
of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy
of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be
discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So
go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can.
Because remember that’s where you will find
success.”-- Thomas J. Watson
-----------------
“The great successful men of the world have used
their imagination. They think ahead and create
their mental picture in all its details, filling in here,
adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a
bit, but steadily building – steadily building.”–
Robert Collier
-----------------
“It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and
important principle of life that the most likely way
to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself
but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.”–
Arnold Toynbee
“My attitude is that if you push me towards something
that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that
perceived weakness into a strength.”–Michael Jordan
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a
day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and
something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it
lasts forever.”–Lance Armstrong

“Strength does not come from
winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.
When you go through hardships and decide not to
surrender, that is strength.”–Arnold Schwarzenegger
---------------
“I know what I have to do, and I’m going to do whatever
it takes. If I do it, I’ll come out a winner, and it doesn’t
matter what anyone else does.”--Florence Griffith
Joyner
---------------
“Every time you stay out late; every time you sleep in;
every time you miss a workout; every time you don’t
give 100% – You make it that much easier for me to
beat you.”--Unknown
-------------------
“If you are hurt, whether in mind or body, don’t nurse
your bruises. Get up and light-heartedly, courageously,
good temperedly get ready for the next encounter. This
is the only way to take life – this is also ‘playing’ the
Motivational Quotes for
Students
Education matters, but that doesn’t mean it’s
easy to achieve! Committing yourself to
pursuing knowledge in a single area is a
tremendous endeavor – one that often seems
overwhelming given the depth and breadth of
information that’s available today.
--------------
So if you want to better yourself through
education, keep the following motivational
quotes for students in mind. Hopefully, you’ll
find them inspiring when the thought of
cracking open yet another textbook sounds as
arduous as writing such a tome of your own!
------------------
“How far you go in life depends on your being
tender with the young, compassionate with the
aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant
of the weak and the strong. Because someday
in life you will have been all of these.”–George
Washington Carver

“If you can imagine it, you can
achieve it; if you can dream it,
you can become it.”–William
Arthur Ward
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to
entertain a thought without accepting it.”–
Aristotle
---------------
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness
is the key to success. If you love what you are
doing, you will be successful.”–Albert Schweitzer
------------------
“Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private
pocket: and do not pull it out and strike it, merely
to show that you have one.”–Philip Stanhope, 4th
Earl of Chesterfield
----------------
“He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he
who does not ask remains a fool forever.”–
Chinese Proverb
---------------
“Study while others are sleeping; work while
others are loafing; prepare while others are
playing; and dream while others are wishing.”–
William Arthur Ward
---------------
“Books can be dangerous. The best ones should
be labeled ‘This could change your life’.”–Helen
Exley
-----------------
“A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.”–
Chinese Proverb

Finally, whatever your goals are in life, you can’t go
wrong by taking the advice of the following famous
motivational quotes:
-------------------
“Change your thoughts and you change your world.”–
Norman Vincent Peale
-------------------
“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone
else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living
the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the
noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow
your heart and intuition, they somehow already know
what you truly want to become. Everything else is
secondary.”–Steve Jobs
----------------
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but
anyone can start today and make a new ending.”–Maria
Robinson

Harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies Opportunity.”–
Albert Einstein
