7 inspirational quotes about health and why it matters

10/31/2020 by Roy Sutton

We can all be a little too neglectful of our health sometimes and yet it is so important.

Think about that next time you’re giving priority to a stressful situation at work.

You only ever have one you and once damaged it’s difficult, if not impossible, to repair.

If your aim is to enjoy your life and be happy then it all starts with good health. So you have to take good care of yourself.

No amount of money will compensate for being in a poor state of health.

So eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly and get a good night’s sleep.

Obviously you can’t wrap yourself in cotton wool and there’s always a balance to be struck. But you get the gist, I’m sure.

Challenge yourself occasionally and make sure you have some fun along the way.

Bad food and your tipple of choice can be enjoyed occasionally and burning the candle at both ends won’t do too much harm as long as you don’t make a habit of it.

Life would be very dull without the odd guilty pleasure but never lose sight of the need to maintain good health.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about health to help you reflect on this all too important subject.

Quotes About Health:

It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. ~Benjamin Franklin
Health is not valued till sickness comes. ~Thomas Fuller
There’s nothing more important than our good health. That’s our principal capital asset. ~Arlen Specter
I believe that the greatest gift you can give your family and the world is a healthy you. ~Joyce Meyer
Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that’s very important for good health. ~Dalai Lama
I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself. ~Johnny Carson

7 inspirational quotes about people and why they’re important

10/30/2020 by Roy Sutton

Today I offer you some quotes about people.

Love them or hate them we can’t live without them, can we?

That’s because as human beings we’re social animals. We’re not solitary animals like cats. We live in communities and we need other people in our lives because we depend on each other.

So value the people in your life. Don’t neglect them; make time for them. Life’s short and if you ever get really sick or infirm you’ll need them.

Your career is all very well but it won’t take care of you in difficult times, will it? For that, you’ll need your friends and family, surely?

Work is important of course but people are much more important.

So get the balance right because life goes by all too quickly and if people think you have no interest in them, one day you’ll find that they no longer have any interest in you.

Value your family and friends and make time to enjoy their company.

If you have good family and friends you’re wealthy indeed.

Life’s very special when you have other people. If you don’t believe me try loneliness.

You’ll soon realize how much you enjoy the company of other people, regardless of how much they might drive you nuts on occasions.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about people to reinforce my point.

Quotes about people:

Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. ~Dennis Prager
I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. ~Maya Angelou
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~Marcel Proust
People may hear your words but they feel your attitude. ~John C. Maxwell
The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. ~Epictetus
I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. ~Robin Williams
Stay positive and happy. Work hard and don’t give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people. ~Tena Desae

7 inspirational quotes about change and why it’s important

10/29/2020 by Roy Sutton

Before I offer you some inspirational quotes about change, let’s consider why it really matters dear reader.

One of the most fundamental human needs is the need for certainty. We 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.

Think about this; everything we take for granted today once didn’t exist.

A good example of this would be computers. Today most households have several of them in the form of Desktops, Laptops and Tablets, as well as 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 mini-computers 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; you ignore change at your peril.

It’s better to embrace it, 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 7 inspirational quotes about change to help you reflect on what it means and why it’s important.

Quotes about change:

Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. ~Stephen Hawking
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. ~John F. Kennedy
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. ~Winston Churchill
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. ~Alan Watts
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance. ~Nathaniel Branden
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. ~Lao Tzu
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account, not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. ~Isaac Asimov

7 inspirational quotes about education

10/28/2020 by Roy Sutton

Never underestimate the power of learning, dear reader. And it doesn’t have to be through formal education. It can be just reading books and listening to inspiring people who’ve been there and done it.

Education is an investment in you.

Learning gives us knowledge and skills.

Knowledge and skills provide us with the basis for making a living.

If you’re highly skilled, with skills that are in short supply, then you have the basis for making a very good living. And a good living is the aim for all of us, surely?

However, education and learning is a life-long process.

You must always keep your knowledge and skills current. Times change and you must change with them.

Your education will always be a work in progress.

For as long as you have the strength to pick up a book, you must proactively expand your knowledge. Do that and I promise you, you won’t regret it.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about education to reinforce today’s message.

Inspirational quotes about education:

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. ~Benjamin Franklin
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. ~Malcolm X
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. ~Nelson Mandela
Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth. ~Chanakya
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. ~Anthony J. D’Angelo
You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward. ~Conrad Hall
An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don’t. ~Anatole France

15 Quotes by Bob Marley to remind you of his talent

10/27/2020 by Roy Sutton

The late Bob Marley was of course a Jamaican singer-songwriter who became an international musical and cultural icon. For me, he is one of the greatest recording artists of all time.

His music blended mostly reggae, ska and rocksteady rhythms into compositions with a very commercial sound and broad appeal.

However, beneath the commercial sound were lyrics with real bite. And that in my opinion is why his songs remain popular to this day.

To have risen from humble beginnings to have the international impact Bob Marley had, then you have to be someone very special and he was, certainly in musical terms.

Here are 15 quotes by Bob Marley to remind you of what a talent the world has lost.

Quotes by Bob Marley:

You have to be someone. ~Bob Marley
Money can’t buy life. ~Bob Marley
None but ourselves can free our minds. ~Bob Marley
Tell the children the truth. ~Bob Marley
In this bright future, you can’t forget your past. ~Bob Marley
When one door is closed, don’t you know another is open? ~Bob Marley
If something can corrupt you, you’re corrupted already. ~Bob Marley
Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny. ~Bob Marley
Don’t gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold. ~Bob Marley
Open your eyes and look within. Are you satisfied with the life you’re living? ~Bob Marley
Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for. ~Bob Marley
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively. ~Bob Marley
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, don’t give up the fight. ~Bob Marley
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live! ~Bob Marley
God sent me on earth. He send me to do something, and nobody can stop me. If God want to stop me, then I stop. Man never can. ~Bob Marley

15 Quotes by Oprah Winfrey that’ll inspire you

10/25/2020 by Roy Sutton

True fame implies universal recognition. You’re only famous when your photograph could be shown to anyone, anywhere and they would be able to identify you immediately. One such person is Oprah Winfrey.

She really doesn’t need any introduction but for anyone who’s spent the past 25 years living life in complete seclusion on another planet, let me tell you she’s an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer and philanthropist.

Clearly a very smart lady, she’s someone who would be regarded as successful by any measure. And let’s face it, it’s always worth listening to successful people. Whatever worked for them may work for us.

So here are 15 quotes by Oprah Winfrey.

Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself. ~Oprah Winfrey

15 Quotes by Larry David that’ll make you think

10/23/2020 by Roy Sutton

If you were a fan of the US sitcom Seinfeld then you will be familiar with the name Larry David. He was the creator of that series along with Jerry Seinfeld and for me it’s one the finest sitcoms of all time.

Lawrence Gene David, to give Larry David his full name, was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is a comedian, writer, actor, director, and television producer.

Larry David was the head writer and executive producer for Seinfeld from 1989 to 1997 and subsequently gained further recognition for the sitcom series Curb Your Enthusiasm, which he also created, and in which he stars as a semi-fictionalized version of himself.

15 Quotes by Clint Eastwood you’ll just love

10/22/2020 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for quotes by Clint Eastwood, then this post’s for you, dear reader. I think Clint Eastwood has to be one of the coolest movie stars of all time, wouldn’t you agree?.

And he’s not only a movie star, but he’s also a noted filmmaker, musician and political figure as well.

In a career spanning over 60 years, he’s given us so many memorable movies and numerous memorable lines from those movies. However, as a great influencer, he’s also made a few memorable quotes in his public life too.

Here are 15 quotes by Clint Eastwood to prove my point.

Some quotes are by Clint as Clint and some are by Clint playing the many memorable characters he played, such as Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry and, my personal favourite, Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino.

Whether they’re his own quotes or those from the characters he’s played, they all give us reason to reflect on life and the human condition.

So enjoy these 15 quotes by Clint Eastwood and see how many of them you can work into your day.

And for those quotes from his movies, how many of them can you match with the movies from which they came?

Quotes by Clint Eastwood:

Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it.
I tried being reasonable but I didn’t like it.
Tomorrow is promised to no one.
Take your work seriously but don’t take yourself seriously.
If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.
Ever noticed how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn’t have messed with? That’s me.
Respect your efforts; respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt that’s real power.
There’s a rebel lying deep in my soul. Anytime anybody tells me the trend is such and such, I go the opposite direction. I hate the idea of trends. I hate imitation; I have a reverence for individuality.
I’m interested in the fact that the less secure a man is, the more likely he is to have extreme prejudice.
Extremism is so easy. You’ve got your position, and that’s it. It doesn’t take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.
I don’t believe in pessimism. If something doesn’t come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it’s going to rain, it will.
Maybe I’m getting to the age when I`m starting to be senile or nostalgic or both, but people are so angry now. You used to be able to disagree with people and still be friends. Now you hear these talk shows, and everyone who believes differently from you is a moron and an idiot – both on the Right and the Left.
If a person is confident enough in the way they feel, whether it’s an art form or whether it’s just in life, it comes off. You don’t have anything to prove; you can just be who you are.
Like most pictures that I’ve done, I’ve had no idea whether anyone would ever want to see ’em. But I figured I’d like to see it.
I know what you’re thinking. “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
