 Whether or not you can never become great at something, you can always become better at it. Don’t ever forget that! And don’t say I’ll never be good. You can become better! and one day you’ll wake up and you’ll find out how good you actually became.
– Neil deGrasse Tyson (Oct 5, 1958 -) |

Wayne Dyer – See yourself as you would like to become

Richard Feynman – Fall in love with some activity
 Fall in love with some activity, and do it!
Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all. – Richard Feynman (1918-1988) |

– Thomas Scott (1823-1881) |

– David Hume (1711-1776) |
Wayne Dyer – Regrets and what you have done, or have not done
| You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you’ve lost them forever.
– Wayne Dyer (1940-2015) |
Thomas Jefferson – Don’t ask, act!
 Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
– Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) |

Reed Markham – Strategic communication & effective leadership
| Strategic communication is at the core of effective leadership. Through a leader’s use of verbal and written symbols employees are motivated or deflated, informed or confused, productive or apathetic.

Bruce Lee – Something to aim at
 A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
