will appear. We are all here to
learn our lessons. Our parents,
school teachers, friends, colleagues,

Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your

Stop procrastinating!

Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives

synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in
self-improvement.

Understand others. If you know very well how to talk,

you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand
first, and to be understood the second.

Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a

dry land.

Want it more than anything. Dreaming means

believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out
from the roots of motivation and self-improvement.

X Factor is what will make you different from the

others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on
extras on your life like extra time for family, extra help
at work, extra care for friends, and so on.
You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or
talks like you. Value your life and existence, because
youre just going to spend it once.
Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

Tell me and I forget,
Show me and I remember,
Involve me and I
understand.
