Good afternoon dear readers. How many of you want to achieve success in life? I think almost everything, otherwise you simply would not have gotten to the pages of this site. And especially for you, we have prepared a selection of quotes about success and achieving your goals.
We wrote this post for everyone who wants to maintain the strength for further work, so that they do not run out of desire to do and undertake something. We advise you to save this page in your browser so that you can always come back here when you feel tired or run out of motivation. Of course, in such cases you can always watch courses or buy information products on the topic of working on the Internet.

Success doesn't teach you anything. He only convinces smart people that they can't lose.
Winston Churchill:
Success is moving from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
Some people dream of great things, while others stay awake and accomplish them.

Success is not so much what we have, but what we become as a result.
Henry Ford:
Coming together is a beginning. Sticking together is progress. Working together is success.
To continue the topic of teamwork and proper task setting, read the post from, the creator of Apple.
Another very interesting story about Henry Ford, which shows what an interesting person he was in terms of entrepreneurship.
Once in court, when he spoke to defend the interests of his company, the opposing lawyer began to ask questions related to the US transport economy and, noticing that Ford was floating on this issue, sarcastically asked: “How are you, the owner of such a huge corporation and one of the most rich people of the country, you don’t understand this topic,” to which Henry Ford replied: “I don’t need to understand all the economic terms and indicators, give me twenty minutes and I’ll find a person who understands this better than you.”
That is, the main idea is that you need to be able to communicate and create teams, which ultimately lead to victory. After all, one is not a warrior alone in the field.
William Menninger:
Six components of the key to success: sincerity, personal integrity, modesty, courtesy, wisdom, mercy.
George Eliot:
It's never too late to become who you want to be.

The main idea of this proverb is to never give up or give up on your goal.

Napoleon Hill:
Patience, perseverance and perspiration are an unbeatable combination for success.
Oscar Wilde:
Success is a science, if you have the conditions, you will get the result.
Well, like any science, success is learned through a series of attempts and subsequent mistakes.

And by making mistakes, you begin to learn and understand the rules of the game, the rules of success...
Dale Carnegie:
Cultivate success from failure. Obstacles and failures are the two surest steps to success.

The teacher said: “Seeing goodness in front of me, I run forward as if I’m afraid to fall behind. Seeing evil in front of me, I run away as if I had stepped foot into boiling water.” I have heard such words and seen such people. “I live in solitude in order to achieve my goal, and I follow what is necessary in order to prevent my truth.” I have heard these words, but I have never met such a person.
Confucius (Kun Tzu)
The purpose of every good action is to love what is worthy of love, to hate what is worthy of hatred, to enjoy what is worthy of pleasure, and to enjoy what is beneficial. What is bad is to use what you should enjoy, enjoy what you should use, hate what you love and love what you hate.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Hello, dear readers!
Well, she came to us. We hope that you have had a good rest over the summer and are ready to begin work or study with renewed vigor. That is why today we want to remind you of your goals. After all, your activities can become many times more productive if you set specific goals for yourself.
We have already described how to do this in the post ““. And so that you are convinced of the need to set goals, we suggest you read quotes about purpose:
If you have a great goal in front of you, but your capabilities are limited, act anyway; for only through action can your capabilities increase. Sri Aurobindo
Find a goal, resources will be found. Mahatma Gandhi
Give a person a purpose to live for, and he can survive in any situation. I. Goethe

How few people have their own goals. And how many people make other people’s goals their targets. Stas Yankovsky
To justify ourselves in our own eyes, we often convince ourselves that we are unable to achieve our goal; in fact, we are not powerless, but weak-willed. Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The nature of the means must be the same as the nature of the goal, only then can the means lead to the goal. Bad means are only suitable for bad ends. N. Chernyshevsky
The goal in life is life itself. I. Goethe
The main sign of talent is when a person knows what he wants. Peter Kapitsa
Don't be afraid of the future. Look at him, do not be deceived about him, but do not be afraid. Yesterday I climbed onto the captain's bridge and saw waves as huge as mountains and the bow of a ship that was confidently cutting them. And I asked myself why the ship overcomes the waves, although there are so many of them, and he is alone? And I realized that the reason is that the ship has a goal, but the waves do not. If we have a goal, we will always get where we want. Winston Churchill
You need to set yourself tasks that are higher than your strengths, firstly, because you never know them anyway, and secondly, because strength appears as you complete an unattainable task. B. Pasternak
If you want to have little time, then do nothing.
It’s easier to do something well right away than to explain later why it was done poorly. (Longfellow)
To justify ourselves in our own eyes, we often convince ourselves that we are unable to achieve our goal; In fact, we are not powerless, but weak-willed. (F. La Rochefoucauld)
If you want to start a new life, you must not only close the door to the past, but also lose the key to it. Endlessly returning to the past is psychological masturbation. (Irina Rodnina).
Each of us always has a choice: to concentrate on the next obstacle or to shift our attention to the final goal. Many people spend a lot of time constantly struggling with problems instead of taking real steps towards achieving their goals.
If you work for the present, your work will come out insignificant; one must work with only the future in mind.
When a person has many directions to go, in general, he has nowhere to go. (Ilf Petrov).
Random successes have never led anyone to victory.
The biggest mistake is experiencing a mistake.
Victory goes not to the one who is compliant, but to the one who is stronger.
Successful people know what they want, unsuccessful people know what they don’t want.
You will never solve all your problems if you have too much free time. Make sure you never have any free time.
Believing in yourself is an essential condition for achieving success. Believe, be sure to believe that everything will work out for you and you will achieve your goal.
The decision to move forward so as not to become a victim of circumstances.
By persistently overcoming all obstacles and without being distracted, you can surely achieve your chosen goal or arrive at your intended place.
With the proper choice of allies, victory in any conflict can be guaranteed.
If you want to achieve maximum effectiveness, you must use your power openly and honestly.
If you can't win fairly, just win!
Winning is not the most important thing; that's the only thing!
Small offenses entail punishment, major ones - rewards. (Niccolò Machiavelli).
It is better not to make decisions than to make and not implement them. The decision made must be implemented.
“When a person dies without achieving the desired goal, this is not a victory, but also not a defeat; defeat is when a person is alive, but the desired goal is not achieved because he abandoned it.” (Of course, this remark should not be taken as an absolute)
The goal must be useful, socially significant, and attractive.
The goal you set must be carefully considered.
AVOID SETTING GOALS, MAKING DECISIONS:
1) when you are in a state of strong emotional excitement, anger;
2) when the most significant circumstances related to the implementation of your decision cannot be taken into account.
Don't start anything in anger! He who boards a ship during a storm is a fool. (I. Gaug)
The goal you set must match your capabilities.
“Whoever wants to achieve great things must, as Goethe said, be able to limit himself. He who, on the contrary, wants everything, actually wants nothing and will achieve nothing.” (Hegel)
THE SET GOAL WILL BE ACHIEVED IF:
1) the volitional effort necessary to carry out the decision;
2) certain knowledge or skills necessary to implement the decision;
3) developed one or another volitional quality (endurance, perseverance, determination, diligence, courage);
4) the time required to implement the decision;
5) means to carry out your decision.
The goal must be absolutely specific.
(term, minimum volume, beginning, duration, expected result, indication of funds).
“Nothing can be done well if you don’t know what you want to achieve.” (A.S. Makarenko).
The main goal should be divided into a number of intermediate ones.
“The art of living has always consisted mainly of the ability to look forward.” (L. Leonov).
A necessary condition for the effectiveness of goal setting is the ability to make it achievable, attractive and include it as an integral part in moments that are significant for us and actually act.
“Our life is a journey, an idea is a guide. There is no guide, and everything stops. The goal is lost, and the strength is gone.” (V. Hugo).
To choose the right goal, you need to know a lot.
When selfish happiness is the only goal of life, life very soon becomes devoid of purpose.
When life's struggle has already turned into a conscious striving for a specific goal, then a person can already consider himself happy. (D. Pisarev).
Will and character require constant strengthening.
When a person dies without achieving his goal, it is not a victory, but it is not a defeat either; defeat is when a person is alive, but the desired goal is not achieved because he retreated from it. The author of the statement is Nikolai Biryukov
The article is very useful!

CLASS. I WILL TRY TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING AND APPLY IT IN REAL LIFE. THANKS A LOT!

Stir life, because the sugar is at the bottom.
Be in YOUR mind more often.
To do this, collect wine corks
into jars in the kitchen, not into their skulls.
Is a unique signal seducing consciousness?
So maybe I've squeezed something with my cowards?
Have the channels of collective consciousness dried up?
The diagnosis is “self-incontinence.”
Bablology is the main ideology today.
There is time as a reward, and there is time as a burden.
The keepers of time live in your darkness.
Came in for one hour and stayed there for a whole hour?
You can just kick the ball, or you can make a pass.
A sad thing has been noticed - science has stopped dreaming.
Castration of the spirit leads to a fracture of the soul.
Get a tattoo on your carcass - “Don’t rush!”
In the absence of liquidity of conscience and honor,
we deserve both bad news and bad news.
Vacuum your brains, don't remake your body.
Burying seeds is a joyful thing.
A meteorite will break your roof
or when it becomes dilapidated it will fall on your head,
I don't see the difference. I hate to hate.
But you have to live life.
If you can't sleep, don't sleep. Love love.
Sometimes it's okay to drink
how sometimes you have to fight.
The last thing is to be ashamed of yourself.
Happiness means living differently
as forced, but as it should!
Girl, can you... - Of course you can!
God, are you mine? There is a man behind you, like behind a wall.
Then please pass on... my genes.
A roof without walls is better than walls without a roof.
The fewer needs, the more opportunities.
The more options, the more difficult the choice.
It is clearer than clear: everything is softer for the weak, and everything is stronger for the strong.
Make life easier for good people.
Or at least don’t help those who don’t.
Remember: an imbecile will not give you ideas, an unfinished one will not finish it.
The horizons are broad, but the views are narrow.
How will it be in Russian?
The one who does not love his country, his Fatherland
and his homeland, - a degenerate and an ugly thing.
There is Moscow, St. Petersburg.. And there is Russia - the periphery.
Or is it the other way around - What do you think, people?
Remembering that not only “strength lies in truth”,
but “truth is in force” - we will overcome everything!
We lift moratoriums on our rights
We will either become a right-wing power in the future,
or in the past - left history.
The condition for successful progress towards the goal,
- formation of events and connections between them.
By the way, are you with me, or already with strangers?
In the one who really created the sun, the earth and man,
Apparently only australopithecines believed.
By the way, how much is the action to privatize God?
The path is not the Path, and the Path is not the road.
Don't confuse pride with arrogance, honor with vanity,
and cowardice - with humility...
Under-UNDERSTANDING - consider SELF-OPINION
worse than ALIEN opinion.
Life is the movement of Being from non-existence to non-existence.
That's why I eat and drink while on the move.
Moving sometimes wildly, sometimes barely.
I relieve tension by moving on someone else's body.
I move the planet towards myself with my feet,
under oneself, from oneself.
How to move furniture in a one-room apartment
I consider myself a Feng Shuist.
Even with words I move things like gunpowder moves a bullet.
If it's rude to say no,
then I politely show the muzzle.
Empty trees are in vain N E T R Y S I!
Do you want to know what heaven thinks of you?
If you're not afraid, ask...
Vitaly Sundakov
"CONSTELLATION OF THE HAUNDS
Eduard Asadov.
Past the constellation Virgo,
Constellations Leo and Libra
Rushing across the dark sky
Constellation Canes Venatici.
It swirls, rustling in their wake,
Space blizzard.
Are they chasing a comet?
Or are they chasing the enemy in the darkness?
I saw their shadows tight
Through the haze of boyish dreams,
And they were as if alive,
In addition, what words are:
"Constellation Canes Venatici"!
Childhood has passed, rushed away,
Has melted without a trace
But the song remained in my soul,
And, it seems, forever.
A pack of dogs rushes
Millions of centuries ahead.
And I, as in childhood, wonder:
Where are they going? Who's waiting for them?
What mystery is driving them?
In the midst of cold and silence?
What if they are desperate there?
Looking for the owner in the darkness,
Whom are you separated from?
He is kind, cheerful, stellar,
But from very distant times
Somewhere in the frosty darkness
Captivated by monsters.
In the vastness of worlds and centuries,
Where there was neither sound nor sight,
He's off to the black giant planet
It is pressed with a magnetic ring.
There are strange measurements:
A hundred miles is just a small step,
A century is one moment,
And the lake is liquid darkness...
Monsters swimming in rivers
And then, drying out on a rock,
Starman
They are kept in the darkness of the cave.
Stacked electrides -
In every paw there is a brain,
They convince him to give it away
He's everything he's ever seen
And most importantly - the secret of the stars!
How they light up
Is the cold driving me from the planets?
How do they cool down?
How to turn off their light?
So, silently and ugly,
Chewing the gelatinous darkness,
Your will patiently
They inspire him.
But he doesn't give an answer.
And only stubborn: SOS!
From a planet as black as darkness
Sends to the bright world of stars!
The call sweeps across the universe,
And everything that lives somewhere,
He says: - Leap year. -
Or: - Year of active sun.
And only in the bottomless darkness,
Where there are neither nights nor days,
Fire dogs
They rush even faster!
The eyes sparkle more and more brightly,
The ridges tensed like a string,
And hot sparks fall
Flame tails.
The universe beats in clubs
Cosmic dust in the chest,
And it rings subtly under the claws
Silver Milky Way...
But through centuries and spaces
They will hunt and find
Planet of the Black Kingdom
And the monsters will be chewed up.
Paws - on the shoulders of the owner,
And the starry man will sigh.
Here it is, the main secret,
The basis of the entire universe:
In love no matter the test
And devotion forever!
The end of adversity! Victory!
Sound the bells of the stars.
Let the waves of heat and light
They will rush to all ends!
And they will rush to the right and to the left,
Carrying a silver din.
And the Virgin will scream joyfully,
Believe fearing news!
I'll grab my heart with my hand,
He will press his cheek to Taurus,
And starry tears will roll
By the flushed face!
Fantasy? Let be! I know!
And yet, from childhood
I believe in the stubborn pack
What rushes after a friend!
Everything perishable falls from the soul,
Stories strike the clock
The universe rings with silver,
Dogs fly through the universe...
The colors are burning fantastically,
And, no matter how wise the head is,
You still believe the fairy tale.
The fairy tale is always right!
Eduard Asadov
You are happier than 90% of people on Earth
If you reduce all of humanity to a village of one hundred inhabitants, taking into account all proportional relationships, this is what the population of this village would look like:
57 Asians - 21 Europeans;
8 Africans - 14 residents of North and South America;
52 will be women; 48 men;
70 non-white; 30 white;
96 heterosexual; 4 non-traditional sexual orientation;
6 people will own 59% of the world's wealth;
80 will not have adequate housing conditions;
70 will be illiterate; 50 will be malnourished;
1 will die; 2 will be born;
1 will have a computer; 1 will have a higher education.
If you look at the world from this point of view, it becomes clear that the need for solidarity, understanding, tolerance, education is very high. Think about it.
If you woke up healthy this morning, you are happier than 1 million people who will not live to see next week.
If you have never experienced war, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or hunger, you are luckier than 500 million people in this world.
If you have food in your refrigerator, you are clothed, you have a roof over your head and a bed, you are richer than 75% of the people in this world.
If you have a bank account, money in your wallet and some change in your piggy bank, you belong to the 8% of wealthy people in this world.
If you are reading this text, you are doubly blessed because:
1) You are not one of the 2 billion people who cannot read, and...
2) you have a computer!
