purpose

Our immediate interests are after all of but small moment. It is what we do for the future, what we add to the sum of man's knowledge, that counts most. As someone has said, 'The individual withers and the world is more and more.' Man dies at 70, 80, or 90, or at some earlier age, but through his power of physical reproduction, and with the means that he has to transmit the results of effort to those who come after him, he may be said to be immortal.

A creature doesn't move because it is a living thing, but because it knows what it can do with its life.

There is a better future, with a greater purpose. We can find it, only when we search for it.

The Acceptance of who you are is in the embrace of who you will become.

Naturally, everyone is expected to enter the future only once, but by the transport medium of dreams, great people enjoy the future twice! They pay a visit into the future by dreaming, and they relocate to settle in it by their purposeful actions!

Where you have been isn't half as important as where you are headed. Keep your sights and focus on the future.

A prophet is always underestimated, and part of what makes one a prophet is that he doesn't really mind it.

The world is shaken by major events, but it is __ransformed_ by slight subtleties. And while we may be far too small to create even one major event, we are just the right size to craft a thousand subtleties.

If you stay true to your principles, you have confidence, conviction, purpose, values - in other words, you have a future.

Purpose expands the reason and future of every plan

It will take faith, to know success can still be attained regardless of unfairness or disadvantages availed by any system you operate within.

You must first become _ before you are appointed, conferred or pronounced. Unfortunate challenges and failures are likely to be manifested whenever conferment precedes becoming what you aim to be. Be ready to maturely handle success.

Make the difficult choices and adopt the discipline regime required of a person who has set their mind to succeed, kiss mediocrity goodbye and translate an ordinary life to the extraordinary. It takes personal commitment of time and resources, and a sacrifice of non-essential pleasures to move towards success.

Even if the creative brilliance sparks only once, it needs to be accelerated and developed so it has self-sustaining strategies to continue adding value to both the initiator and those it serves.

If you are not sure or you don__ know something, politely ask. Asking is not a sign of being daft, but of confidence.

Aligning your values and beliefs to your behaviour, increases your chances of being effective at living a fulfilling life without the stress of guilt-consciousness, internal strife or internal conflict

Behaviours and habits are therefore the end result of the entire value chain and cannot be changed in a sustainable manner by scratching the surface - you have to dig deeper. This is why jail time, threats and sanctions without appropriate rehabilitation programs will not change a person unless they embark on a personal journey/program to initiate the process of change from the inner core _ how the programs in their brain are wired to influence their beliefs.

There is more fulfilment when sharing with others than enjoying on your own - whatever success you achieve.
