30 quotes to make you think about life

If you’re looking for quotes to make you think, dear reader, look closely at the 30 I’ve put together for you today.

They are all observations about life as we know it today. We live in strange times, and they appear to be getting stranger as each day passes.

In my experience, each decade has a unique feel, and the one in which we now live is no different. The 2020s are shaping up to be unique, that’s for sure.

On the positive side, nothing lasts forever. So, we have every reason to believe that life can improve. However, it will only improve if we challenge the orthodoxy and refuse to accept that which is unacceptable.

So, grab a coffee, relax, and see what you make of these 30 excellent quotes.

And please feel free to share them.

19 quotes about change and why it’s important

Today I’m exploring quotes about change.

One of the most fundamental human needs is the need for certainty. We all need certainty because we need to feel secure.

As a species, human beings are programmed to ensure we survive. If we don’t feel secure, then we are constantly on our guard, which drains our energy.

That’s why change can be an uncomfortable experience because it makes us feel insecure, and feeling insecure means we can’t relax.

Most of us can feel uncomfortable with change, at least to some degree, and that’s perfectly natural when you think about it.

However, change is important.

Through change comes opportunity, and if we can embrace change, then opportunity can be ours for the taking.

Most people tend to be slow in their response to change because it’s such an uncomfortable experience. However, if we respond quickly, we can grasp those opportunities just waiting for the fleet-footed.

QUOTES ABOUT CHANGE
Make Money

A good example of things that once didn’t exist would be computers. Today, most households have several of them in the form of desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Certainly, this is the situation in my home, and I’m sure that’s true in your home too, dear reader.

However, as recently as 1943, Thomas Watson, then chairman of IBM, said, “I think there’s a world market for maybe five computers.

Well, there are more than five computers in my home alone, and there will be billions more around the world.

As recently as 1977, Ken Olson, then president, chairman, and founder of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), the leading supplier of minicomputers at the time, said, “There’s no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home.

We’re lucky that neither Bill Gates nor Steve Jobs listened to those gentlemen.

However, in business terms, these examples are even more significant.

Failure to recognize the changing nature of the computer market had almost catastrophic consequences for IBM as a business.

They did manage to adapt eventually, but not before their business went through a major wobble and at one point looked like it might even fold completely.

And where is Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) now? It disappeared long ago and is now nothing more than a footnote in the history of digital technology.

So my message to you today, dear reader, is this:

It’s better to embrace change, however uncomfortable it may feel, and be ready to grab those opportunities as they come along.

The most successful people in business are adept at exploiting opportunities brought about by change.

Change is synonymous with opportunity. It’s that simple.

Here are 19 inspirational quotes about change to help you reflect on what it means and why it’s important.

21 powerful quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald to inspire you

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some of the great quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He is best known for his novels depicting the flamboyance and excess of the Jazz Age, a term he popularized.

During his lifetime, he published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. Although he achieved temporary popular success and fortune in the 1920s, Fitzgerald received critical acclaim only after his death and is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century.

In 1920, he published the commercially successful This Side of Paradise. The novel became a cultural sensation and cemented his reputation as one of the eminent writers of the decade.

By any measure, he was a successful man, and, as I’ve said before, it’s always worth listening to successful people.

So here are 21 quotes by F. Scott Fitzgerald to inspire you.

Take a few moments to be inspired, and please feel free to pass them on.

  2. Forgotten is forgiven.
  3. You can stroke people with words.
  4. Show me a hero, and I’ll write you a tragedy.
  5. Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

  3. No such thing as a man willing to be honest. That would be like a blind man willing to see.
  4. You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.

33 thought-provoking Quotes by Thomas Sowell to make you think

Today I am exploring some thought-provoking quotes by Thomas Sowell, who is, in my opinion, one of the great American thinkers of his time.

If you’re not familiar with Thomas Sowell, he is an American economist, economic historian, social philosopher, and political commentator. He is also a well-known voice in the American conservative movement and a prominent black conservative.

Thomas Sowell was born into a poor family in segregated Gastonia, North Carolina. Despite his humble beginnings, he graduated from Harvard University in 1958, which is a truly remarkable achievement, given the challenges he would have faced at that time.

To me, Thomas Sowell is an impressive character quite simply because he rose above the obvious disadvantages he faced and proved that, if we are prepared to take personal responsibility for our lives, we all have the power to achieve our full potential.

Thomas Sowell is the author of more than 45 books on a variety of subjects, including politics, economics, education, and race, and he has been a syndicated columnist in more than 150 newspapers.

I’ve heard him speak many times and, in my opinion, he has a lot of interesting things to say. There are many videos on YouTube featuring Thomas Sowell and I recommend you check some of them out.

However, not before you’ve read today’s thought-provoking quotes by Thomas Sowell which are listed below.

21 cynical quotes about politics and politicians

If it’s quotes about politics and politicians you’re seeking, this post is for you.

Politicians may start with good intentions, but, as we all know, power corrupts. It’s a sad fact that, whether they’re from the right or left, rarely do they add value to the lives of the people who vote for them.

Yes, in the modern age, it’s a tough job, with 24/7 rolling and frequently biased news media scrutiny, and so on.

Nevertheless, the measure of any politician must surely be whether they’ve improved people’s lives, at least in some modest way. It happens occasionally, but mostly it doesn’t happen at all.

So, ponder on these quotes about politics and see how many of them are consistent with your own opinion.

21 thought-provoking quotes about opportunity

Quotes about opportunity can be inspiring in my experience. They’re always positive, which I like.

A past littered with perceived failures can often leave us feeling that we’ve blown our chances of success in life.

We can often feel that somehow we’re destined for nothing more than a series of unexceptional jobs with modest remuneration because we didn’t do well in school or we didn’t make much effort in our early years, or whatever.

I know this feeling is common among people who left the education system with little in the way of certificates and diplomas to show for all their years in the classroom.

However, certificates and diplomas are just pieces of paper. They’re nice to have, but they don’t, in any way, define you.

Above all, you must always remember this, dear reader: your future is not defined by your past. Mistakes made can always be rectified.

A perceived failure is not the end of the world; it’s just an outcome you didn’t want. You can have as many chances to try again as you’re prepared to take.

Never forget that the future is an endless stream of opportunities, which you can choose to take or not.

That’s right! You can choose to take them or not; it’s down to you and you alone. You can make your life whatever you want it to be, as long as you’re prepared to make changes and work hard.

So focus on what you want with determination and hard work, and success really can be yours, regardless of any mistakes you may have made in the past. The past was a series of lessons, not a life sentence.

Here are 21 thought-provoking quotes about opportunity.

Reflect on all these quotes, dear reader, and then think about your life and whether it’s all you’d like it to be. If it isn’t all you’d like it to be, then it’s time to make some changes and go boldly in search of a better life experience.

  5. Success is where preparation and opportunity meet. ~Bobby Unser
  6. A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds. ~Francis Bacon
  7. A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. ~Winston Churchill
  8. Most people miss opportunity because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work. ~Thomas A. Edison
  9. Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. ~Henry Ford

Quotes about opportunity (11-21):

  4. Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming. ~Richard Branson
  5. Many people may say that luck is important, but I think you create your own luck by working hard to ensure you don’t miss opportunities. ~Ivan Glasenberg
  6. Each generation goes further than the generation preceding it because it stands on the shoulders of that generation. You will have opportunities beyond anything we’ve ever known. ~Ronald Reagan
  7. My favourite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity. I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities. ~Mario Testino
  8. People with a growth mindset believe that they can improve with effort. They outperform those with a fixed mindset, even when they have a lower IQ, because they embrace challenges, treating them as opportunities to learn something new. ~Travis Bradberry
  9. As an entrepreneur, you tend to see opportunities where others see none. ~Naveen Jain
  10. Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them. ~Jim Carrey

15 quotes about trust that’ll make you think

Today I offer you some quotes about trust, dear reader.

Trust underpins any relationship if it’s to have any longevity. Strong relationships are built on trust. However, trust is something that can take years to establish and only seconds to destroy.

One thoughtless act is all it takes; one moment of weakness. And once destroyed, trust is almost impossible to win back, certainly to anything like the same degree as before, because people can never quite see you in the same way again.

Securing someone’s trust is a privileged position to be in because it means you’re held in the highest regard. To them, you’re someone with integrity, and you’ve won their respect.

So trust is a very special thing, and once established, it should never be abused. Not if you value a relationship and/or your reputation, at least.

If you’re in a relationship and, for you, it’s not all you would like it to be, then it’s perfectly reasonable to be honest with someone, explain the situation, and move on. They may be upset by your actions, but they’ll appreciate your honesty in time.

However, when you truly value a relationship and you’ve won a person’s trust, then think long and hard before you consider doing anything that might destroy that trust. To do otherwise would mean, almost certainly, you’ll regret it.

And remember this: everything you do, however small, honest, or dishonest, says something to the world about your character. So how do you want to be judged: trustworthy or otherwise?

In my opinion, it’s better to be known as someone honest and trustworthy rather than someone people feel they cannot trust.

No amount of personal gain will compensate for having a poor reputation. I don’t think so anyway.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about trust to help you reflect on its significance in relation to your reputation.

QUOTES ABOUT TRUST

Quotes about trust (1-10):

  1. He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted. ~Lao Tzu
  2. Trust must be earned and should come only after the passage of time. ~Arthur Ashe
  3. You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible. ~Anton Chekhov
  4. A man who trusts nobody is apt to be the kind of man nobody trusts. ~Harold Macmillan
  5. Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all must be very selective about the people we trust. ~Shelley Long
  6. You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don’t trust enough. ~Frank Crane
  7. Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships. ~Stephen Covey
  8. To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved. ~George MacDonald
  9. Trust is hard to come by. That’s why my circle is small and tight. I’m kind of funny about making new friends. ~Eminem
  10. Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters. ~Albert Einstein

Quotes about trust (11-15):

  1. A blessed thing it is for any man or woman to have a friend, one human soul whom we can trust utterly, who knows the best and worst of us, and who loves us in spite of all our faults. ~Charles Kingsley
  2. I cannot trust a man to control others who cannot control himself. ~Robert E Lee
