Quotes from famous people about life

 "The only way to do great work is to love what you do." -Steve Jobs 

"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 

"The best way to find out what you want to do with your life is by doing it."-John Lennon

 "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."-Steve Jobs

 "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today."-Franklin D. Roosevelt 

"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated."-Maya Angelou

 "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knows victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt 

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."-Jimmy Dean

 "Don't Let Yesterday Take Up Too Much Of Today."-Will Rogers

 "Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the best."-John D. Rockefeller 

"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily."-Zig Ziglar 

"There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing."-Aristotle 

"The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be."-Ralph Waldo Emerson "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."-Henry

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. Buddha

All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter.Sai Baba

 A man is what he thinks about all day long.Ralph Waldo Emerson

The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes. William James

First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination. Napoleon Hill

Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.

Albert Einstein


When you master your mind, you master your life. The mind is everything, what you think, it becomes. Our life becomes what we think about. Thinking is one of the greatest abilities we possess. It is very important to know how to think correctly because life is a mirror and reflects back to us what we think.

John Marks Templeton

Some money quotes from great people

Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.

John Kenneth Galbraith

We teach about how to drive in school, but not how to manage finances.

Andy Williams

Starting out to make money is the greatest mistake in life. Do what you feel you have a flair for doing, and if you are good enough at it, the money will come.

Greer Garson...

Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.

Mario Puzo

The very nature of finance is that it cannot be profitable unless it is significantly leveraged... and as long as there is debt, there can be failure and contagion.

Alan Greenspan

There's been a myth perpetuated where people think, 'I need to go into consulting, banking, finance, law, or medicine to make a consistently reasonable amount of money.' People are now realizing that's not the case.

Fred Ehrsam

If money is your hope for independence, you will never get it. The only real security one can have in this world is a stock of knowledge, experience, and ability. – Henry Ford

It's not about how much money you make, it's about how much money you save, how it works for you, and how many generations you'll be able to keep it.” Robert Kiyosak

Money means different things to different people. Some people see money as a way to buy things they want, while others see it as a way to save for a rainy day. Some people see money as a way to invest in their future, while others see it as a way to spend on their present. Money is important, but it's not everything.

True wealth: Ethics, People, and Nature.

In a world that often measures success by bank statements and material possessions, it is easy to forget what it really means to be “rich.” If we rethink the concept, we will see that wealth is not what we accumulate for ourselves but what we contribute to the world. As I have a saying, “If we think morally right and our actions are in the interest of people and nature, then we show how rich we are.” This statement of mine challenges the logic of consumer society. Wealth here is transformed from quantity of possessions to quality of character. In the moral choices of everyday life, Wealth is manifested in our ability to make the “right” choices when no one is looking. Would you choose to support a local producer, even if the product is somewhat pricier, instead of buying a mass-produced product that supports exploitative practices? This act is an investment in society—you are “rich” in consciousness. When we care for nature as a legacy, which is our greatest asset, we often treat it as...

Why True Consulting is About Building

 In the realm of investment and consulting, the alluring promise of "guaranteed returns" frequently obscures the distinction between a visionary and a predator. But there is a fundamental difference between a consultant who helps you grow and one who helps you escape reality. The Illusion of the "Foreign Perfume": Imagine a kingdom where the people live in hardship. A consultant arrives and convinces them to take their last coins and send them to a distant land. Why? Because that land produces exquisite perfumes, it promises a profit of 5% to 10%. The logic is seductive: "Invest there, receive your gold back, and buy a bottle of perfume." Then, you won’t have to smell the stench of the misery around you."  This is the definition of a bad consultant. They teach you how to mask the symptoms of a problem rather than curing the disease. They encourage the drainage of local wealth to fuel someone else’s economy, leaving your own "kingdom"—your c...

What is the smallest investment you can make for yourself?

Let's be real for a second. Whether you're glancing at your retirement fund, scrolling through job postings, or just trying to navigate the price of groceries, there's one thing that feels constant: change. People often perceive this constant change as instability. The stock market experiences fluctuations, the job market adapts to technological advancements, and even the housing market exhibits unpredictable fluctuations. It's enough to make anyone feel twitchy about their future. That's why I love this quote from Mikhail Barshchevsky: "Markets are unstable. Invest in yourself." Simple, right? However, the implications are profound.  This piece of wisdom isn't just a clever saying. Firstly, Barshchevsky confronts us with the harsh reality: "Markets are unstable." And he's not wrong. Financial Markets: Stocks go up and down. Cryptocurrencies soar and plummet. Interest rates fluctuate, affecting everything from your savings to your mortgag...
