Don’t Settle . . . . For Second Place


Motivational Power Quote

Don’t Settle . . . . For Second Place 
Once you say you’re going to settle for second,
that’s what happens to you in life, I find.”
John F. Kennedy 1917 - 1963, 35th President of the United States    

 
As I see it. . . . . . . .

Don’t settle . . . . for second place

Accepting second place . . . . is admitting defeat before you start and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Settling for second place lowers a person’s expectation for themselves and . . . . that person will never know what they are truly capable of being or doing. You will never achieve more then you believe that you will achieve and you will never do more than you believe you can do.

Strive to be the best that you can be and focus your efforts of being that person. Create the vision of being first and turn that vision into a goal. Pursue that goal with faith in yourself and . . . . the belief that your vision will be achieved.

You will never go higher then you aspire to go or further then you are willing to work to achieve.

Don’t settle  . . . .for second place . . . . go as far as you can go. Be the best you can be and work as hard as you can to achieve the results that you have the vision of achieving.

A Diamond in the Rough


Motivational Power Quote


A Diamond in the Rough
“Rough diamonds may sometimes,
be mistaken for  worthless pebbles .”
Sir Thomas Browne, philosopher   


As I see it. . . . . . . .

A diamond in the rough

There is great value in finished diamonds but when we see a diamond in the rough there is no way to determine it true value until the diamond is polished.

People are a lot like a rough diamond we have to be polished to bring the best of us out.
