[The Shoeless Wonder]

"Nothing is Impossible"
&
"impossible is nothing"

[localstommy]

Heres what I gathered.

"The beauty about bodybuilding is that, we destroy your body. Then we must heal it inorder to destroy it again. Iron love"

"Confident guys are confident because they know that it will come. If it is not now, then it will come. If it will come, then it is not now. Yet, it will come."

"Every breath we take brings us one closer to our last. What are you waiting for? For yourself to become 'perfect'? You never will be."

"CHANGE DOES NOT COME WITH COMFORT - EVER"

"It’s not what we say out loud that really determines our lives. It’s what we whisper to ourselves that has the most power."

"No one who has ever done his best has ever regretted it"

"Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to."

"Realize that if you have the time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.”"

"You MUST CONCENTRATE upon a given DESIRE until that desire becomes a BURNING OBSESSION. The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. If you find yourself lacking in persistence, this weakness may be remedied by building a stronger fire under your desires."

"Sometimes the best gain is to lose"

"What do you have left to react on now? All three things are gone. You cannot react, and if you can't react to something there is no growth. Growth only occurs when there is a reason for it. If you nurture and water a plant it will grow, if you choose not to water it then it will not grow. If you struggle catching up to your prey, your body will evolve to increase your speed. Your speed doesn't increase "just because".

"no matter how bad things get, just keep going. you only fail when you give up "

Quote from the movie Bruce Almighty: - Handwork is a blessing, it purifies a man. Some of the most happy people I know come home smelling to heaven's..

"The old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we gotta do to survive ~2pac

Everytime you feel like procrastinating, ask yourself this. "If not now, When?"

"If you look risk up in the dictionary, it defines it as: possibility of loss or injury. Hmm, Possibility of loss or injury. People don’t like the possibility of losing. You know why? BECAUSE THERE IS THAT CHANCE THEY COULD POSSIBILY LOSE!!!! Guys don’t be afraid to fail, because if you do, you are already a failure."

"As I close guys just remember, the bigger the risk the bigger the reward!! There is no way to escape it either. Go big or go home."

"Just as you become what you think about, you also become what you say to yourself."

[Antagonist]

The one quote I like is at the end of Eminem's new song "Beautiful".

I'd paste it, but it'd sound weird out of place.

Here it is- ww.youtube.com/watch?v=7NzRDZZ3Pvo (What, have 30 posts to post links?) Just add the first W I suppose.

[Clifford-James]

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION alone are omnipotent.

-Calvin Coolidge

[DA_MOSS]

I DO NOW WHAT OTHERS WANT SO I CAN HAVE LATER WHAT OTHERS CANT!!

If you do not like the RULES, just follow the rules until you reach the top and then change them.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

Have the courage to accept what you can't alter and to alter what you can't accept

Next time you're tempted to say you "can't," remember that what you're really saying is, "I don't want to."

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened - or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the **** on

"It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe."

"I Will Not Be Outworked. Period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things. You got it on me in nine categories. But, if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: You're getting off first, or I'm gonna die. It's really that simple."- Will Smith

Preparation fellas, preparation and hard work.

[Crusher_]

This speech from Rocky 6 actually stuck with me even though its a boxing analogy it aplies to everything you go through in life..


"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody!"

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
Roosevelt

"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent."
Arnold
