  • In life, like in business, you have the people who are out there living it to the fullest and the bystanders letting it pass them by. You have the people who sit around and mope all day about how miserable their lives are, then you have the people who are out there crossing things off their bucket lists on a regular basis.

      This is so true, and I don't want to be one of those people who just let life go on without actually living my life and exploring all over the world.
  • Success is more than an idea, it is a state of mind. Although success is relative to each individual, the key to achieving success is the demeanor in which you go about living your life and taking advantage of opportunities that come to you.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Ambitious thinking and being able to see that you deserve more than what you have.
  • Whether it be in life or in business, you should never take anything for granted and you should learn how to make the most of the situations that are presented to you.

  • There is no way to turn this instinct on or off; however, when you realize you are in a tough situation, your gut feeling is the most trusted way to go.

      When you have a gut feeling that you should't do something and you do it anyway and something bad happens. This happens to me all the time, from now on i will be listening to that gut feeling.
  • If your gut is giving you a negative feeling about a particular person or situation, then it would be best not to question it
  • People love to be in their comfort zones, once we find a particular way of doing things, we are very reluctant to change the way we go about it. However, times do change and it’s important that we keep an open mind when it comes to new ideas and ways of thinking.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Change isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes you get exposed to things you never thought would happen. However, you should always keep a open mind.
  • This is especially true when it comes to the way you go about living your life. Don’t try to force your beliefs onto others. Just because something works for you doesn’t mean it will work for someone else
  • Have an open mind when it comes to understanding the new technologies out there; it will help you keep up with the times.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      When wanting to achieve successful you must open your mind to many options out their. Even things you had doubt in before.
  • Great success is coupled with great responsibility. Do not take your success for granted. You may have worked hard for what you achieved, but know that you are now in a position to help those who are less fortunate. Now this doesn’t mean you have to give away everything you have to people less fortunate, but it wouldn’t hurt you to give a helping hand.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This is so true sometime, people become successful and forget to help out the needy or even try to help someone be at the same position in life like they are in. Helping others bring good karma. Thinking about others is always a good thing.
  • There are people who will never get the same opportunities as you. Help open up doors for these people, it will not only show others the importance of helping out, but it will also make you feel good about yourself.

      This statement is true, with a positive attitude and ambitious mind you are capable of achieving anything. 
  • 30% of all people will never believe you. Do not allow your colleagues and employees to work for you. Instead, let them work for a common goal.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Sometimes when people doubt you that doesn't mean you can't achieve your goals. Doubt only push me to get to the point i want to be in. 
  • A leader should be a visionary and have more foresight than an employee. A leader should have higher grit and tenacity, and be able to endure what the employees can’t. A leader should have higher endurance and ability to accept and embrace failure.

  • The quality of a good leader therefore is his vision, tenacity, and his capability.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This statement is true. You must have a clear vision of what you want and nothing can get in your way of that.
  • One should always understand that money and political power can never go hand in hand. Once you are in politics, don’t ever think about money anymore. Once you are running a business, don’t ever think of being involved in politics.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This is a good advice. Because politics is something I don't like getting involved in.
  • What is failure: Giving up is the greatest failure. What is resilience: Once you have been through hardships, grievances and disappointments, only then will you understand what is resilience.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Failure should only push you to not make the same mistake once. However, failure should never stop you from what you want. It should only motivate you more.
  • Only fools use their mouth to speak. A smart man uses his brain, and a wise man uses his heart.
  • I always tell myself that we are born here not to work, but to enjoy life. We are here to make things better for one another, and not to work. If you are spending your whole life working, you will certainly regret it.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      I always tell myself that I am not in the point of my life where I want to be. What I have now I deserve more. And my mindset only makes me grind harder for what I deserve.
  • No matter how successful you are in your career, you must always remember that we are here to live. If you keep yourself busy working, you will surely regret it.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      I see people born and die in the same place. Never felt their country just worked their whole life to live a life thats not really living. You must explore see whats out there. 
  • Those that compete aggressively with one another are the foolish ones. If you view everyone as your enemies, everyone around you will be your enemies.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      I believe no one can really get to the top by their self, you always need someone with connects. Being anti-social won't get you anywhere. Being social and kind to people will make people want to help you and see you achieve the best.
  • Competition is similar to playing a board of chess. If you lose, we can always have another round. Both players should never fight.
  • A real businessman or entrepreneur has no enemies. Once he understand this, the sky’s the limit.
  • Adopt and change before any major trends or changes.
  • Forget the money; Forget about earning money. Rather than having small smart tricks to get by, focus on holding on and persevering. Your attitude determines your altitude.
  • Today is cruel, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be beautiful.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Never let a bad day or the past ruin your future. What happened yesterday is yesterday there is always room for change.
  • If you do not know where your competitor is, or overconfident and snobbish about your competitor, or are unable to comprehend how your competitor became a real threat, you will surely fall behind him. Don’t be the “they” in this idiom: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      Never worry about the next person, worrying about the next person will only make you be less than that person
  • Even if your competitor is still small in size or weak, you should take him seriously and treat him as a giant. Likewise, even if your competitor is massive in size, you shouldn’t regard yourself as a weakling.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 25 Apr 14
       
      This source is very helpful. It basically told me the does and don'ts in the industry. In order to succeed you must have a positive attitude and be very ambitious. Also to never let failure hold you back. It should only push you harder to grind for what you want. There's always going to be someone trying to compete with you but, pay no mind to competition. However, never underestimate others just don't focus on what there doing.

      This source how to achieve success in 6 thoughts, is basically about ways you can become successful. I now fully understand in order to gain success you must have faith in yourself. Also you must be able to make a goal and stick to that goal. You can't doubt yourself because, thats only going to make you want to give up. The most important fact to me is that, failure is something that can be overcome. The key to overcoming failure is to "recognize your failure, identify the root and also make a plan to deal with them''. This way you won't make the same mistake twice.

    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This is me all the way, I put my mind to something and then I tell myself its too much work I have to give up.
  • Think right now about something you keep stopping. You committed to it, but then you suddenly quit because it started to require a little extra elbow grease.

      It was freshmen year and I was studying so hard to past the algebra regents. I went to prep after school on wensday and thursday. When the test finally came I didn't show up on the day because, I thought I wasn't ready to take the test.
  • Because the more you stop and think about quitting, the longer it’ll take to get to your desired result. Or worse, you’ll never know what it feels like to reach the finish line.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This is so true and very motivating.
  • You’re either scared to start because it means your life will change or you want it for the wrong reasons (i.e. someone else is encouraging you to do it).
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      I also do this, whenever I have to change something about myself I think about all the things that will change because of it.
  • You have a choice in everything you do.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This statement is so true. Anything that has to do with me a have a choice. 
  • You are not so worthless that you have to keep dating that person.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      Unhealthy relationships is something that can hold you back, and their is always a choice to walk away.
  • Eventually, you’ll have to ask yourself whether you even want to fix the problem.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      It all depends if you want to stay in the situation or remove yourself from it. 
  • So when you say yes to a happy hour, you’re saying no to <insert your choice of workout>.
  • You may just need to analyze when you’re saying yes and what you’re trading for it.
  • There will be rewards along the way and there will be a great sense of accomplishment at the end.
    • Ruth Mitchell
      Ruth Mitchell on 11 Apr 14
       
      This passage is very inspiring. It pin outs all of the things that cause me to not succeed in life. Anything you want you must have the drive and passion to achieve it. However, their are always little issues that would keep you back. For example "quitting at things you think is to hard". You always have a choice in anything you choose to do. Giving up will only keep you in the same spot you don't want to be in. I came to the understanding that the only way am going to be successful is by putting all doubts out my mind and working to my best ability. Quite avoiding and work hard to reach success. It'll all feel breath taking when you finally achieve it, thats when you will appreciate all of the hard ships it put you through.
