Will Smith – Secrets of Success
“Attack your fears. Develop the attitude of attacking things you’re scared of.”

2. Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.
3. You don’t try to build a wall. You don’t start there. You say I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid. You do that every single day, and soon you will have a wall.

Steve Jobs – How to Live Before You Die
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life”
1. You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backward. You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
2. 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.
3. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Have the courage to follow you heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become.

3. The worse thing you can do is quit in the dip. Smart people either quit in the beginning, or they don’t quit until the end.
