Earn Quotes

“If we had to earn our age by thinking for ourselves at least once a year, only a handful of people would reach adulthood.”

“John Maxwell, in his book, 5 Levels of Leadership, outlines the five levels as: Position, Permission, Production, People Development, and Pinnacle. I wanted to help him progress from Level 1 (based on his position) to Level 5, pinnacle, which is based on earning the respect of your peers for who you are as a person.”

“It was a joyful last mile," she said in her book Paula: My Story So Far, about the real-life race, and she surely earned that joy. She had talked herself through near-exhaustion by counting to 100, by aiming at landmarks, and by thoughts like, "No matter how exhausted I might feel, a half-an-hour run is one I can manage." She pushed all the way, under 5 minutes for the last mile, never tempted to save anything for another day.”

“Most people do not mind having a house that is smaller and/or a car that is cheaper than their neighbours’, as long as they each earn and have more money than their neighbours, and, equally important, their neighbours know that.”

“I struggled all my life to find direction because my interests were limitless. I have traveled MOST of this once great nation and met 10's of thousands of people. I've worked everywhere from MicroSave’s Microfinance to banking to digging ditches (literally). I have had money and I have had love...but I earned them. I asked for help when I needed it....but I did WHATEVER it took to make it. I now stay at home and run my own firm so I now live on a VERY limited income. And while it is true I wish I had more money (for peace of mind...not toys and "things") I am content!!! Money cannot bring happiness but it can however reduce the stress of how to pay your bills. Don't think for one damn second I'm not part of the "99%". But unlike these pukes that think they are entitled to something...if I need or want something...I earn it!!!”

“In reality, there is no person who can be absolutely selfish or selfless. You can’t be selfless without being selfish. You can’t give anything to another person, unless you first earn it yourself. Hence, the act of giving is intimately connected with the act of earning. The more you take from the world, the more you can give. Bill Gates is the most charitable person in the world today because he has also taken the most from the world.”
