What quote keeps you going when you feel to give up?

[Sue]

Hi there fellow members!


I was wondering if anyone else has a quote / saying that keeps you going when things aren't working out as planned online?


One of my favourites is:

Ships are safe in the harbour

BUT

that's not what ships are built for...

Yes, I know that it can apply offline too and it certainly encourages me to keep going when I've had setbacks in my personal life.


I'd be interested to read what that saying means to you and looking forward to reading your favourite motivational saying / quote

A person that walks alone with no knowledge or direction will get lost,and give up. The answer to everything is mindset and how we think. if you feel like giving up.

I follow two very simple quote's:

Sh@* happens, Deal with it... (my personal quote)
and my family motto which fits my train of thought
'Nunquam Non Paratus' (Never unprepared)

[Kevin Potts]

Personally my favourite quote is from the late and great Winston Churchill, We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

[laurencewins]

You only fail when you fail to try!

I do have more but that is right up there!

[Kevin Potts]

Here is another one which stands out to me: Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.

Warmly

Here is one i like

"Failure is only a fact when you give up. Everyone gets knocked down, the question is: Will you get back up?"

[The Joker]

How's about the one which my missus told me:

Get off your fat lazy ar5e and do some work

Agree That’s when connecting with someone who has successfully walked the path before you comes into play because they can see where you're at and can advise you where to go next

Expecting the bull not to charge you because you are a vegetarian.

Ha, ha That’s a good one

Thank you. Excuse my ignorance, what’s a CBA comp?

@lexxmarzain
Sh** happens, Deal with it... (my personal quote)

Agree. Complaining is not helping the situation

@Kevin Potts
Winston Churchill, We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

And that’s what I try and do each day!

@laurencewins

Agree with you. I have many others too and still interested in reading what others say to themselves when thinking of giving up on their internet activities.

@Kevin Potts
Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential

Agree. Must say determined to find my internet marketing potential by end of 2010

@Gladwin
"Failure is only a fact when you give up. Everyone gets knocked down, the question is: Will you get back up?"

Agree. And boy I’ve certainly got up again and again!

@The Joker
Get off your fat lazy ar5e and do some work

Tell your missus she knows her stuff because a lot of newbies believe they can get £XXX,XXX and more by putting in zero work Then again can’t blame them as that is what they’re told by some internet marketers just to get the product sold

@Joker Quotes:
If You’re Good At Something, Never Do It For FREE.

Yep Sooner or later newbies get to realise that FREE is not an entirely good business model whether online or offline!

Thank you all for letting me read your motivations Certainly made me think

What I do is ask this question......What is the worst thing that could happen?

When I see that it has not happened then it gives me a boost as I am far better off than if the worst thing had happened. I can always think of much worse things so I am always better off.
best wishes

@ Vince The Prince

Sorry Sue I just take longer to read

Tell me about it! You're not alone because there's just so much to read online nowadays especially when starting out

What I do is ask this question......What is the worst thing that could happen?

Good question especially when the answer gives you that extra boost to get up and get going again

One of my favorite quotes is found in Napoleon Hills book, "Think and Grow Rich":
"Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or a greater Benefit."

Thanks for sharing everyone.

Sheila

[Gladwin]

this is really a great thread. maybe we should make it a sticky or something and encourage everyone to share and read the quotes.

[TheForumSystem]

Whilst teaching myself to program in vb.net I had a stickit not on my pc that read

"Inch By Inch Is A Cinch"

this helped me so much when the learning curve was looking to great, it reminded me that little steps forward all add up and if you don't give up then it will work out in the end.

CBA Comp :Look up the Competition Category.Each month we have held a competition for great prizes.CBA stands for Cambridge Business Academy which is run by Kevin Potts to help internet marketers and is the backbone of this Forum along with "dotcomboy" by Paul Lynch.
The May Competition is almost over .We can still accept a few ideas or improvements on existing idea entries.

[Isaac]

There are just too many to mention!

Basically, I keep myself motivated by inundating myself with great quotes and materials each and everyday, and not wait until I'm really down to start looking for inspiration. I find that it works better. I listen to Tony Robbins' Get the Edge program everyday to program my mind.

Anyway, some of my favourite quotes:

"If you can't, you must. If you must, you can." - Tony Robbins
