* Great people realize early in their life their destiny, and accept it. Even if they do not know consciously realize the how, the where, the what.
* If you want to become the best in the world you can be, start now. Don't spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it.

“Every day you sit back and wait for something to happen is another day lost”.
Some quotes from Rocky !
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! - Rocky Balboa
"Be a thinker, not a stinker" - Apollo Creed

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others." -Marianne Williamson (often thought to be Nelson Mandela, although it wasn't)

I'm quite suprised No-one has mentioned Theodore Rossevelts "It's not the critic that counts...." speach:
"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 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 and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

"In our compulsive consumer orientated society, which is fast losing its direction, becoming fat and pot bellied, where discipline is scorned and the scramble for wealth is foremost in the minds of our youth, the Green Beret of the Royal Marines Commando stands alone as being a rare pearl of great price.
It is a symbol of excellence, dedication and professionalism, an accolade for those who push themselves beyond the limit of normal human endurance.
In an age when standards are crumbling, the Green Beret is as British as the Union Jack, for it represents true grit and dogged individual determination.
The Green Beret is not for sale, thousands have sought to attain it, but along the way many have wilted and failed. It is a classless symbol of fortitude and achievement."
It's from the introduction to a book about the Corps - can't remember which one.
