Recently, I've begun sharing inspirational quotations on my Facebook and Twitter pages on a daily basis. What I like about inspirational quotations is their ability to convey so much knowledge in so few words. Some of them are really mind- and heart-opening; just reading them might trigger a eureka! moment. According on the comments I've received from others, it seems as if they share similar thoughts. Due to the popularity of the quotations, I decided to compile over 400 of them so that you may all benefit from these pearls of wisdom. These are quotations that I hand-picked when exploring the web, reading books, or just writing when I had an insight moment. For ease of reference, I've organized the quotations into major categories.
27. âThe only way to resurrect a spoiled machine is to disassemble it, work on its internal system, and reassemble it. Remove the bolts from your life, evaluate and work on yourself, then reassemble your life and begin moving. â Israelmore Ayivor â Israelmore Ayivor â Israelmore Ayivor 28. âA hurt individual must study the poverty of his or her disordered emotions in order to deduce the archeological origins of their festering misery.â Oldster, Kilroy J.
"When applicants attempt to write anything that they believe will satisfy the committee, they make a mistake. They run a significant risk of going wrong if they attempt to forecast what it may be." Ã Albert R. Turnbull, University of Virginia School of Law Associate Dean for Admissions and Placement "We want honesty (to the extent that we can identify it), simplicity, and forthrightness." â Dr. Andrew G. Frantz, Chairman, College of Physicians and Surgeons Admissions Committee (Columbia University).
9.âIf you are unable to fly, then run. If you are unable to run, walk; if you are unable to walk, crawl. However, keep moving.â- Martin Luther King The quotation is self-explanatory. This is something that everyone should strive to do on a regular basis. You must constantly work on yourself and go ahead, regardless of how dejected you may feel. This is a very motivational motto for students and others.
Having a clean and ordered area aids in the clarity and organization of your thinking. It may sound unusual or foolish, but you may discover that clearing clutter allows you to think more clearly. Clean up your desk if you need to take a break or want to postpone for a few more minutes. When your place is congested, your mind is instinctively noting everything else that has to be done and what needs to be cleaned. Often, I am unaware of how crowded my workstation is until I tidy it and am suddenly able to think more clearly. Cleaning up your workstation may also include organizing your notes. If your notes are disorganized and difficult to read, you are unlikely to want to sit down and interpret what you wrote. That requires your brain to do more effort before it can begin learning. Spend some time typing or rewriting your notes, and the chore of studying will seem less daunting.
