Hey Steemies!
We all have those days when we feel at our lowest low, anxious, tired, or just need an inspirational boost. What always helps me at these times is to read a quote or two—
These encouraging mindsets can apply to students or any person going through a rough patch in their life.
“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”
—Abraham Lincoln
“Learning is like rowing upstream, not to advance is to drop back.”
—Chinese Proverb
“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”
—Vincent Van Gogh
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
— Mahatma Gandhi
“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”
—Ayn Rand
“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking.”
—William Butler Yeats
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
—C.S. Lewis
“The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as long as we live.”
—Mortimer Adler
"Work hard in Silence. Let success make the Noise"
— Frank Ocean
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
—Thomas A Edison
“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
Just know that the tough situation you may be going through at this moment will eventually pass.
