My compilation:
(in no particular order)
Live in such a way that if someone spoke badly of you, no one would believe it.
Stand up for what you believe in, even if it means standing alone.
I’ve learned so much from my mistakes, I’m thinking of making a few more.
Beware of half-truths…you may get hold of the wrong half.
When you rise in life, your friends know who you are.
When you fall down, you know who your friends are!
A bad attitude is like a flat tire…you can’t go anywhere until you change it.
Be careful who you trust. If someone will discuss others with you, they will certainly discuss you with others.
Don’t count the number of friends you have but the number of friends you can count on.
A lot of trouble will disappear if everyone learns to talk to each other instead of talking about each other.
Problems are like washing machines, they twist us, spin us and knock us around, but in the end we come out cleaner, brighter and better than before.
Friends are like jewelry…the fake ones start to fade and reveal their true colors, but the real ones will always outshine the rest.
Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself, the right people will love the real you.
Respect those friends who find time for you in their busy schedule. But really love those friends who never see their schedule when you need them most.
It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy. But it’s good to check once in a while that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.
I am thankful for the difficult people in my life. They have shown me exactly who I don’t want to be.
Patience is not the ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.
To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.
There are some people who always seem angry and continuously look for conflict. Walk away; the battle they are fighting is not with you, it is with them selves.
Maturity is not when we speak big things. It is when we start understanding small things.
Common sense is like a deodorant, those who need it the most, don’t use it.
The biggest mistake we make in our relationships: we listen only to half, understand only a quarter, think zero and react DOUBLE.
The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure…if ‘Plan A’ doesn’t work stay cool. The alphabet has 25 more letters.
When you stop chasing wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch up.
Please don’t judge me until you know me, don’t underestimate me until you’ve challenged me and don’t talk about me until you have talked to me.
A person’s most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to reach out and help.
How others see you is not important…..how you see yourself means everything.
It’s easy to stand with the crowd…it takes courage to stand alone.
Trust a person to the extent that he feels guilty to cheat you…care for a person to the extent that he fears to lose you
If you spend too much time working on your weaknesses, all you end up with is a lot more strong weaknesses…Dan Sullivan.
Learn to admit your mistakes before someone exaggerates the story.
Be the person who stays strong even when you have every reason to break down.
Never break four things in life: Trust, Promise, Relationship and Heart because when they break, they don’t make a noise but it pains a lot.
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Don’t expect it from cheap people…Warren Buffet.
We are so often caught up in reaching our destination that we forget to appreciate the journey, especially the goodness of the people we meet on the way.
We must never limit our challenges…instead we must challenge our limits.
You can’t expect to be old and wise if you were never young and crazy.
Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll get you the right ones.
Worry is a total waste of time. It doesn’t change anything. All it does is to steal your joy and keep you very busy doing nothing.
Don’t ever say you’re not good enough. If some people can’t see how amazing you are, then they are the ones who are not good enough for you.
I am thankful to all those difficult people in my life as they’ve shown me exactly who I do not wish to be.
One day you will meet someone who doesn’t care about your past because they want to be with you in the future.
If someone in your life makes you forget your past, that someone is probably your future.
I’m not perfect. I make a lot of mistakes. But I really appreciate those people who stay with me even after knowing who I am.
Running away from any problem only increases the distance from the solution.
Some times some problems can only be solved if you are willing to shut your mouth and learn how to open your ears, your mind and your heart.
Don’t let negative toxic people rent space in your head. Raise the rent and kick them out.
The mind is like a parachute…it doesn’t work unless it’s open.
Never argue with people who drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
