“In a free society, every opportunity comes with three obligations. First, you must seize it. You must mold it into a work that brings value to others. Second, you must live it. Opportunity is nurtured only by action. Third, you must defend the freedom to pursue opportunities. You must embrace these three obligations as if the future of the United States depended on it. In fact, it does.” IfsFirstsDoeStatesFactsActionValuesThreeOpportunityWorkUnitedUnited StatesHard WorkThirdsEmbraceObligationPursueMoldFree Society Author:Roberto Goizueta
“Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead; that is where your future lies. Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. People who care about each other enjoy doing things for one another. There are really only three types of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say, What happened?” PeopleLooksHardHappensCareLyingThreeOpportunityEnjoyWatchesHappenedHard WorkTypeThings HappenLive LifeOur FutureWho CaresYour FutureMake Things Happen Author:Ann Landers

“If you take away the last few years, from my last year in Washington, and you think about my career, there was nothing but hard work. I was in the gym three or four times a day, working on my skills. If we lost a game, and I thought I played bad, I'm staying in the gym to keep shooting. That's what I did.

“Any kind of writing that's meaningful becomes hard work, so there were times when it would really flow, there were times when I'd get 10 pages a day, and then there were days when I would do three pages.

“My mother saved our home with a minimum wage job. But in the 1960s, a minimum wage job would support a family of three above the poverty line. Not today. Not even close.

“The secret is contained in a three-part formula I learned in the gym: self confidence, a positive mental attitude, and honest hard work. Many people are aware of these principles, but very few can put them into practice. Every day I hear someone say, 'I'm to fat. I need to lose twenty-five pounds, but I can't. I never seem to improve.' I'd hate myself if I had that kind of attitude, if I were that weak. I can lose ten to forty pounds rapidly, easily, painlessly, by simply setting my mind to it.” PeopleIfsNeedsMindKindI CanSelfHardSeemsHateThreeLosesSecretAttitudePrinciplesPracticeFiveHonestHard WorkTenWeakTwentiesSelf ConfidenceSettingFatsSettingsFortyPoundsGymFormulasTwenty FiveMental AttitudePositive Mental AttitudeHate Myself Book:Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder Source: Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder
