1. “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” – Thomas J. Watson

2. “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.” – Vincent T. Lombardi

3. “The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion. . . It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider — and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation —persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.” – Alexander Graham Bell

4. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison

Anda ketinggalan sebab anda masih belum mengeluarkan singa daripada diri anda. Di dalam diri anda terdapat suatu tenaga, semangat, roh atau nyawa. Sebahagian ahli motivasi menamakan tenaga itu sebagai “harimau, gergasi atau singa.”

Singa dalam diri anda masih tidur berdengkur. Singa belum keluar dari minda anda.

Minda anda masih tidur. zzzzzz…zzz…zz.zzzzz

Sedangkan peranan minda amat penting dalam tindakan. Untuk bertindak, minda anda perlu bergerak terlebih dahulu.

Bak kata orang bijak pandai:

Think like a man of action; act like a man of thought. – Henri Bergson

(Berfikir seperti orang bertindak; bertindak seperti orang berfikir.)

Pergerakan anda sangat terhad. Anda lembab dan lembam.
