I do not have superior intelligence or faultless looks. I do not captivate a room or run a mile under six minutes. I only succeeded because I was still working after everyone else went to sleep.

I only succeeded because I was still working quote

Most of us think we need to be super intelligent and have the most outstanding skills in order to be successful. But in the end, intelligence and talented will only bring you so far. What really matters is your willingness to make an effort and to go the extra mile, wherever necessary and appropriate.

Once you have set yourself a goal, keep pursuing it no matter what. Be willing to invest a great amount of your time towards the accomplishment of your dreams.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.

The motivational power of this fantastic quote lies therein that it makes us ask the question, “ Who else should be great and fabulous, if not you ?” Great people are not born, they had the courage to become the best they can be. It is a decision to commit oneself to excellence, day after day. The greatest have arisen from the most ordinary places. They were given the most mundane tools, yet they still managed to shine in the brightest light possible. All these great people share one trait: the willingness to constantly improve themselves in every area of life.

Don’t chase people
