ambition on fleek

I have been collecting my favorite quotes for the past few years now. Many of these have gotten me through tough classes, long study nights, and reminded me to work hard for what I want most in life. Save this post and read it when you need it. But keep in mind, reading motivational quotes won’t get your work done. It only inspires a spark of motivation. You have to actually do the work afterwards too.

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit 

Commitment is staying true to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in had left. 

Don’t ask what’s the least you can do to be good. Ask what’s the most you can bare to be great. 

Ask yourself if what you are doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. 

Don’t study until you get it right. Study until you can’t get it wrong. 

Get up early enough to set your intentions for the day in stone. A good morning is the beginning of a successful day. You are capable of everything you want to do today. You are strong, secure and able to achieve. There is no task too hard when you believe in every ability you hold, you are determined to hit every goal. Do not give up on yourself.

Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.

Hard work will never betray you.

Aggressive goals require aggressive work ethic. 

The best way for you to predict your future is to create it (Abraham Lincoln)

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing (Walt Disney)

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment (William Arthur Ward) 

You need to understand that studying requires extensive training. Study habits, amount of sleep, timing. Therefore, you should see it as a sport. In order to get better you need to repeat and practice. Your brain needs to be recited all this information for long term memory. It’s a hard process, I know, but trust me you’ll get there.

You get what you work for

You won’t have this day again, so make it count.
