25 quotes about work to help you appreciate its significance

07/26/2024 by Roy Sutton

Today I offer you 25 quotes about work, which I hope will get you thinking.

However, first, consider this question. What exactly is work?

Well, Physics offers a definition, of course. Essentially it says that it’s the effort required to move a force through a distance.

However, that’s not my point today. I’m talking about work in relation to people. That thing that, for most people, takes up eight hours of our time each and every weekday. Now, in that sense, work is simply doing stuff for other people in exchange for money.

Do what you enjoy doing:

Ideally, you should be doing stuff you enjoy doing because if you enjoy it you’ll do it well and if you do it well you’ll enhance your value over the long term. And if you really enjoy what you’re doing it won’t seem like work at all.

However if you’re doing stuff for just one person, regardless of how much you enjoy it, essentially you’re just trading your time for money.

Now I’m not suggesting that there’s anything wrong with trading your time. After all, that’s the way most people work. However, that’s not the way to earn serious money, unless you work on Wall Street.

Serve one for many:

To generate a significant income, for most people, you need to be doing stuff for many people simultaneously. One for many, rather than one for one.

For instance, if you write a bestselling book, record a bestselling music album or produce a bestselling video these activities can lead to you making serious money. A period of work by you produces a product which potentially gives pleasure to millions.

Become an entrepreneur:

Starting a business and selling products by the thousand is another way to make serious money. Becoming an entrepreneur is another way to serve one for many.

The key message for you today dear reader is this; working one-for-one can make you a living. Working one-to-many can make you a fortune, particularly if you can continue to serve the many whilst you’re sleeping.

Whether it’s becoming a creative person, a performing artist, or starting a business. These are the roads to real riches.

It’s never easy of course but it can be done and people do. You could too with a little self-belief.

Here are 25 inspirational quotes about work to get you thinking about it.

Without labour, nothing prospers. ~Sophocles
All wealth is the product of labour. ~John Locke

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. ~Vince Lombardi
Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. ~Stephen Hawking
Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. ~Confucius

Quotes about work (17-25):

I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. ~Vincent Van Gogh
Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing. ~Theodore Roosevelt
Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success! ~David O. McKay
Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all. ~Sam Ewing
I’ve learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work. ~Louis C. K.
Nothing ever comes to one that is worth having, except as a result of hard work. ~Booker T. Washington
Everyone has been made for some particular work and the desire for that work has been put in every heart. ~Rumi
All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today. ~Pope Paul VI
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. ~Steve Jobs

15 inspirational quotes about friends and why they matter

07/25/2024 by Roy Sutton

Why do friends matter?

They matter because people are social animals and we all need other people. They might drive us nuts occasionally but we still need them.

A fundamental human need is the need to feel secure. So having other people in our lives gives us a greater sense of security. It means we feel slightly less vulnerable.

Another fundamental need is the need for certainty.

So having the same people in our lives on a regular basis provides us with a greater sense of certainty. In other words, friends and family help in satisfying this need.

And then there’s sharing our lives with people whose company we enjoy.

People who see the world the way we do. People who enjoy the things we enjoy. Those people who appreciate our company more than they might be put off by our many faults and idiosyncrasies.

We don’t always value our friends as we should but having a few really good friends makes life special I think.

If you’re lucky enough to have at least one good friend then make sure you let them know how much they mean to you.

Here are 15 inspirational quotes about friends to reinforce why I believe they matter.

Inspirational quotes about friends:

It’s always good to make new friends. ~Jose Feliciano
Friends are the siblings God never gave us. ~Mencius
It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter. ~Marlene Dietrich
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone. ~Maxwell Maltz
A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. ~Elbert Hubbard
You cannot buy with gold the old associations. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Friends and good manners will carry you where money won’t go. ~Margaret Walker
Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend. ~Bill Watterson
It’s not so much our friends’ help that helps us, as the confidence of their help. ~Epicurus
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
One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood. ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it friends make life a lot more fun. ~Charles R. Swindoll
Friendship is not something you learn in school but if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything. ~Muhammad Ali
Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it’s all over. ~Octavia Butler
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. ~Henri Nouwen

21 quotes about dreams and why they matter

07/24/2024 by Roy Sutton

Today I have some inspirational quotes about dreams for you, dear reader.

Dreams are so important, wouldn’t you agree?

Those dreams we have, particularly when we’re young, about what we could be as individuals and what our lives could be too.

Dreams are undervalued:

How many young people are discouraged from pursuing their dreams?

Maybe you’ve had this experience. You go to your careers officer in High School and explain that your ambition is to be an actor, a football player, a photographer or whatever. They listen politely and then they tell you to be more realistic.

The received wisdom is always like “Oh, football is a tough profession; you might not make it. Have you thought about becoming an electrician?”

For football, you can substitute music, acting, theatre, writing or any number of jobs people dream about building their lives around.

In short, youthful dreams are undervalued and often crushed before they can even see the light of day. How sad is that?

It’s true, you might not make it, of course, but it’s better to try and fail than to spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been.

Dreams matter:

The beauty of being young is that for most people, you have plenty of time to try things, make a few mistakes and learn from your experiences until eventually, you find that thing that works for you and where you can make a difference.

You only get one life, so you have to live it on your terms.

We all need a vision of what our own lives could be and then we have to live life with passion and enthusiasm in pursuit of our dreams, making the most of every minute.

Life is short:

Life is short, so you cannot afford to live your life based on someone else’s idea of what will work for you.

You must identify what it is you want in life and then you have to go out there and get it if you can. And you have to keep on trying and refining your approach as you go.

Never let other people discourage you. And never accept an answer unless it’s the one you want.

Remember this; always trust your instincts.

If you feel you can do it then have a go. It doesn’t matter whether other people think you can do it, as long as you believe you can do it.

Of course, the converse applies as well. If it feels wrong to you then that’s probably true too.

So, here are 21 inspirational quotes about dreams to help you think about today’s underlying message.

Quotes about dreams (1-11):

Nothing happens unless first, we dream. ~Carl Sandburg
Do all you can to make your dreams come true. ~Joel Osteen
Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today. ~James Dean
Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions. ~Edgar Cayce
You have to dream before your dreams can come true. ~APJ Abdul Kalam
The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. ~Paul Valery
All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney
Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages. ~Terry Pratchett
Dream and give yourself permission to envision a ‘you’ that you choose to be. ~Joy Page
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. ~Yoko Ono

Quotes about dreams (12-21):

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. ~Langston Hughes
A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work. ~Colin Powell
To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream; not only plan but also believe. ~Anatole France
I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re going and hook up with them later. ~Mitch Hedberg
We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. ~Jesse Owens
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. ~Gail Devers
So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. ~Christopher Reeve
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. ~Harriet Tubman
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. ~Henry David Thoreau
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. ~T.E. Lawrence

13 interesting quotes by Mary Tyler Moore

07/22/2024 by Roy Sutton

Today I thought it would be interesting to explore some quotes by Mary Tyler Moore.

For anyone who doesn’t remember the late Mary Tyler Moore, she was a big star in American sitcoms in the 1960s and the 1970s.

She is probably best known for her roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961–1966) and The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970–1977), which helped define a new vision of American womanhood and appealed to an audience facing the challenges of everyday existence, as it was for people back in those days.

However, Mary Tyler Moore was not just a successful sitcom actress.

She was a successful businesswoman, producer, and social advocate. She was also an advocate for animal rights, vegetarianism, and Diabetes prevention.

During her career, Mary Tyler Moore won 7 Primetime Emmy Awards and 3 Golden Globe Awards. She was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Ordinary People.

She achieved all of this whilst having to cope with the debilitating condition of Diabetes.

By any measure, she was a smart lady, whose ideas are worthy of our attention.

So here are 13 interesting quotes by Mary Tyler Moore to get you thinking today.

Quotes by Mary Tyler Moore (1-10):

I’m not an actress who can create a character. I play me.
I’ve had the fame and the joy of getting laughter. Those are gifts.
You truly have to make the very best of what you’ve got. We all do.
You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.
I still feel as if I weren’t a good enough mother. I didn’t break any rules.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you’re really strangers.
Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.
I live in a kind of controlled awareness. I wouldn’t call it fear, but it’s an awareness. I know I have a responsibility to behave in a certain way. I’m able to do that.
Diabetes is an all-too-personal time bomb which can go off today, tomorrow, next year, or 10 years from now. A time bomb affecting millions like me and the children here today.
I need insulin to stay alive. It’s just therapy to keep going. What I can do is make sure that I keep my blood sugar down to a reasonable level. I can exercise, and I can eat properly. And insulin plays a very big part in that.

Quotes by Mary Tyler Moore (11-13):

My peripheral vision has been severely limited because of my diabetes, which means I can see just fine looking straight ahead. But if I am at a function with lots of people, I am constantly bumping into people – even kicking them!
I know the food groups that I like to have and are good for me and those that I have to stay away from. And so, I don’t need to know exactly what I’m going to eat, but I take my insulin probably 20 minutes before I’m going to sit down.
There are certain things about me that I will never tell anyone because I am a very private person. But basically, what you see is who I am. I’m independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I’m positive, I’m disciplined, I like my life in order, and I’m neat as a pin.

So dear reader, were these quotes by Mary Tyler Moore as interesting as you’d hoped?

If any of these quotes touched you in some way then please share this post with your friends on social media.

When you share, everyone wins.

So go on, please share this post now and I’ll be ever so grateful. You’ll be helping a keen blogger reach a wider audience.

Thank you for your support.

Daily Habits of Successful People

07/21/2024 by Roy Sutton

If success is your aim, can you learn from the daily habits of successful people?

Certainly, I believe quite strongly, that we are what we do on a daily basis.

Anything you achieve or don’t achieve is brought about by the habits you develop over time.

Everything you do is a result of your habits, good or bad. So surely it makes sense to develop and maintain good habits and make them your master?

The power of repetition:

Habits, good or bad, are formed through repetition.

Good habits can be hard to form but they’re easy to live with. Whereas bad habits whilst easy to form tend to be very hard to live with. Our lives can become a battle of good habits versus bad habits. Don’t let the bad habits win.

Good habits can be learned and bad habits can be replaced by good habits. Yes, it requires self-discipline on your part dear reader but it can be done and people do.

Decide on the habits you want to develop and focus on achieving them one at a time.

Start with one good habit:

Start with one good habit you’d like to form and then force yourself to repeat the necessary actions daily.

After around three weeks that habit will be formed and it will just become part of your routine. You’ll start to repeat it with little or no thought. Essentially you’ll do it on autopilot.

If you have a bad habit you wish to replace with a good habit then each time you find yourself about to perform the actions of the bad habit, stop yourself and perform the actions of the good habit instead. Again after around three weeks, the good habit will be programmed into your brain.

Self-discipline is key:

Successful people are driven to develop good habits. Self-discipline is the key ingredient for good habits to form and for replacing bad habits.

Successful people also establish the habit of goal setting on a daily basis.

You cannot hit a target unless you can see that target. Setting a goal is the first step in achieving that goal. Successful people are results-oriented.

Successful people are also people-oriented.

The power of helping others:

You get what you want in life by helping other people get what they want.

Every product is a solution to a problem. Even if your goal is to sing or dance, to succeed you must always recognise that you perform to and for people.

They have a need to be entertained and your aim is to fulfil that need. To solve this particular problem for them if you like.

In dealing with people you must be honest and show integrity if you are to win the respect of others.

So honesty is a good habit to develop. Dishonesty and cheating will catch up with you and will be a permanent stain on your reputation. You don’t need that now, do you?

Look after your health:

And above all, you must look after your health. You have one body and one mind and they must last you a lifetime.

So develop the habit of taking good care of both.

To reinforce the message of the importance of repetition and routine I‘ve included this excellent video from Brian Tracy.

Brian is always a source of great advice for anyone seeking success and aiming to create a successful life for themselves and certainly, he’s one of my main sources of constant inspiration.

The video is short but well worth your time and I recommend you watch it now.

25 thought-provoking quotes about being different

07/19/2024 by Roy Sutton

Anyone who has ever tried to be different will know how hard it can be to be accepted by others. Anyone different in some way will know that too.

The human condition has a fundamental need to feel secure and people who are not a reflection of ourselves can make us feel insecure.

So being or trying to be different is a tough gig. However, being different is a worthy aim.

There’s a lot to be said for standing out in the crowd. As the Arab proverb suggests, “be contrary; be known.”

For every reader who likes to stand out in the crowd, here are 25 thought-provoking quotes about being different.

Quotes about being different (1-10):

Being different gives the world colour. ~Nelsan Ellis
Originality is the key to being memorable. ~Suzy Kassem
Go ahead and be ordinary. Eccentricity is extraordinary. ~ JT Sanz
When you’re the only sane person, you look like the only insane person. ~Criss Jami
I’m different from everyone else because everyone else is not me. ~Julian Aguilar
Never be afraid to be different. An original is always more valuable than a copy. ~Roy Sutton
Strategy is about making choices; it’s about deliberately choosing to be different. ~Michael Porter
Different is good and being different is what makes us stand out in the world. ~Natalya Neidhart
People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life. ~Mary-Louise Parker
So, you’re a little weird? Work it! A little different? Own it! Better to be a nerd than one of the herd! ~Mandy Hale

Quotes about being different (11-20):

To be successful one has to be one of three bees; the queen bee, the hardest-working bee, or the bee that does not fit in. ~Suzy Kassem
When you do something different, you are either blessed or cursed. ~Mehmet Muratildan
Everybody wants to make a difference, but nobody is willing to be different. ~Andy Andrews
Only recently have I realized that being different is not something you want to hide or squelch or suppress. ~Amy Gerstler
Tell them a lie big enough and they’ll worship you as a sage. Tell them a truth big enough and they’ll mock you. ~Abhijit Naskar
The person who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The person who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever seen before. ~Albert Einstein
We spend so long trying to be what other people want, that when we look in the mirror, we see a stranger. ~Anthony T. Hincks
We must never be afraid to be a sign of contradiction for the world. ~Mother Teresa
Ordinary people are products of their environment and fit in. Artists transcend their environment and stand out. ~Oliver Gaspirtz
Being different and thinking differently makes a person unforgettable. History does not remember the forgettable. ~Suzy Kassem

Quotes about being different (21-25):

A person who is truly cool is a work of art. And remember original works of art cost exponentially higher than imitations. Just take a look at the coolest people in history. They will always be a part of history for being extremely original individuals, not imitations. ~Suzy Kassem
When you want to do something that isn’t the ‘norm’ you will be made to feel like you have a problem and if you hear it often enough then you start to believe it too. ~Radhika Vaz
The psychology of individual creativity is about at least three different things. First, creativity is about thinking differently. Second, creativity is about feeling differently. Third, creativity is about focusing, or committing, differently. ~Max McKeown
The beauty of life is to be different. Set yourself apart from the crowd, and flourish into the person you were meant to be. ~Julian Aguilar
About Differences: Those who would believe in a higher power by whatever name must also believe that same higher power made all things. On that basis, people of good character will recognize that some people are different from ourselves, in colour, gender, speech, opinion, lifestyle, and in other ways. Different is not an evaluation. As I taught my children while they were growing up, “Different is only different.” Celebrate differences for therein lies the basis for much of what we learn in life. ~James Osborne

When you share, everyone wins.

15 Quotes by Jim Rohn that will really inspire you

07/18/2024 by Roy Sutton

The late, great Jim Rohn was, in my opinion, one of the best motivational speakers of all time. Certainly, he’s one of the best I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard plenty of them over the years.

Sadly, by the time I came across Jim Rohn, he’d already passed away but I wish I’d discovered him years ago.
