Jumpstarting 2012 with Inspiration

by Hannah Jang, Chief Blogger

As 2011 draws to a close and we reflect on the past year, a panoramic montage of bittersweet memories unfolds within our minds. We begin to vacillate between excited anticipation of a new year and feeling angst for the pile of unfinished projects. Both ends of the emotional spectrum are natural and to be expected.  

But, how can we appease such an unsettled mind?  Read inspiring quotes. They are powerful nuggets of wisdom. Here are 12 inspiring quotes that will hopefully uplift and motivate you to greater heights:

 

"Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." - Albert Einstein

 

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."                      - Margaret Young

 

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau

 

"The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."                         - George Bernard Shaw

 

"Every great dream begins with a dream. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world." - Harriet Tubman

 

"I failed my way to success." - Thomas Edison

 

"He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying." - Nietzsche

 

"Inspiration and genius - one and the same." - Victor Hugo  

 

"To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first." - William Shakespeare  

 

"My mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general, if you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.' Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso." - Pablo Picasso

 

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." - Helen Keller

 

"When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"I failed my way to success." - Thomas Edison . We cannot learn and we cannot attain success if we don't undergo on failures. You can taste success if you endures failure.

I don't want bitter memories unfold with my mind. I want to finish 2012 with love, peace and harmony.

I salute this statement :"To climb steep hills requires a slow pace at first." - William Shakespeare. Yes, We cannot achieve success at once. We have to start at the basic. So, be patient enough because you will reap the harvest of your labor.
