What Quotations Motivate You? – Part 1

It’s just one of those days.  We all have them, but today it seems like everything is going wrong.  It’s pouring down rain and you forget your umbrella. You’re late for a meeting so you hop in your car and try to rush to get there.  Unfortunately, you get pulled over by a cop for speeding.  One of your major suppliers leaves because he has found a better price and a more convenient alternative.

Now you understand the saying, when it rains, it pours.

Q: ENTREPRENEURS! WHAT QUOTATION(S) MOTIVATE YOU?

 “If you have a problem with someone you have to go after them, and it’s not necessarily to teach that person a lesson, it’s to teach all the people that are watching a lesson that you don’t take crap, and if you do take crap, you’re just not going to do well” – Donald Trump

My most favorite quote is simple and powerful: “Never Give Up”. Whatever the troubles, they are just passing clouds. Patience always wins over power, so it’s important to hang in there and work toward bringing the better day closer. After all, what’s the point if you don’t fight with everything you’ve got?
