Most millionaires are well disciplined.

They set their own high goals then go on to reach these high standards.

More often than not they don't have others telling them what must be done.

In fact one of the hallmarks of discipline is ones ability to become economically successful without being given a roadmap.

Millionaires make their own road maps and no one tells them what time to wake up or go to work.

---------

Become an island of success in a sea of mediocrity is contagious.

Not really a quote, but one of my favorite stories my grandfather told me, go figure :rolleyes:...

" An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A battle is raging inside me ... it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The old man fixed the children with a firm stare. "This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."

They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee replied: "The one you feed." - unknown

“The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness”

“Liberate the minds of men and ultimately you will liberate the bodies of men.”
Marcus Garvey



“Education develops the intellect; and the intellect distinguishes man from other creatures. It is education that enables man to harness nature and utilize her resources for the well-being and improvement of his life. The key for the betterment and completeness of modern living is education. But, ' Man cannot live by bread alone '. Man, after all, is also composed of intellect and soul. Therefore, education in general, and higher education in particular, must aim to provide, beyond the physical, food for the intellect and soul. That education which ignores man's intrinsic nature, and neglects his intellect and reasoning power can not be considered true education.”


“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”
His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie
 
"Problems will always torment us," he wrote, "because all important problems are insoluble: that is why they are important. The good comes from the continuing struggle to try and solve them, not from the vain hope of their solution."
