From the great Tony Robbins
“The secret to success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.”

When it seems impossible, when it seems like nothing is going to work, you are usually just a few millimeters away from making it happen.
How many of you have experienced an instance where you have felt overwhelmed with a whole bunch of urgent to dos? Taking a deep breath and looking at the situation and slowly prioritizing reveals that you really can get through everything. Give that little remaining ounce of energy, and don’t give up.

Got this video link from my friend Daniel, a genius programmer. You can check out his blog here: odotto.tumblr.com
“Love the attitude of the below video. Here are some of the key bullets:
When you want to succeed as much as you want to breath, then you’ll be successful
Most of you want success, but you don’t want it bad enough
If you are going to be successful, you have to give up sleep
You got to want to be successful so bad that you focus so hard you forget to eat
You’ll be successful when you don’t need me to give you a dime, then you’ll be successful”
It’s my belief that dedication will always beat talent. So go out and find what you are passionate about, because only then will you have the courage to dedicate the time to trying to achieve it, and only then will you be able to dedicate the time and energy to do what it is you need to do to achieve it.
Live your dreams: This man is extremely inspirational…
Dr. Randy Pausch – love it.
Key takeaways:
1) Go and achieve your childhood dreams, experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want
2) When your doing a bad job and no one points it out to you, that means they’ve given up on you
3) The brick walls are not there to block our way…
This clip was brought to my attention by Winnie Lai of Clinicbook. A great and passionate entrepreneur. Love this clip by Simon Sinek (after the break), because he teaches to ask “why?” first before you do anything.
Most people start a business to make money. While I don’t discount that your business needs to be kept financially afloat, if you really want to build a great company…
You have to have a lot of passion for what you do because its so hard that if you don’t, any rational person would give up. And you need to do it over a sustained period of time.
The ones that are successful in the eyes of society, are successful because they love what they do so they could persevere when it got tough, the ones that didn’t love it quit because they are sane. What rational person would keep doing what their doing over the long term if they didn’t like it?

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish. By Steve Jobs.
Praised as one of the best speeches ever written.
“Remembering You’ll Soon Be Dead Is the Most Important Tool to Help Make the Big Choices in Life”
Video after the break:
Everyone wants to achieve greatness in life, and everyone has greatness that lies deep inside them, but only few end up realizing this potential. I think this is because:
1) Most people give up before finding what it is that they truly want to do, and what they love to do.
2)Even fewer work hard enough to achieve their aspirations once they have found them.
Success comes only to those who work hard enough, and take consistent actions to achieving their goals and dreams.
