Q.D.F: Simple Truths We Often Forget

Recently I read a great Blog that listed 101 Simple truths we often forget.  I'm sharing some that really resonated with me for Q.D.F (Quote Day Friday)

• The acquisition of knowledge doesn’t mean you’re growing.  Growing happens when what you know changes how you live.

• You can’t have good ideas unless you’re willing to generate a lot of bad ones.

• A good idea without action is worth nothing.

• People seldom do things to the best of their ability.  They do things to the best of their willingness.

• You can’t change other people; you can only offer guidance, and lead by example.

• Some circumstances are uncontrollable, but we can always decide how we react to those circumstances.

• It’s not so much about finding opportunities as it is about creating them.

• Having a plan, even a flawed one at first, is better than no plan at all.

• Being successful is a journey, not a destination.

• Your success isn’t just about you.  It’s about how you positively impact the lives around you.

• Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

• In the beginning, you need to say “yes” to a lot of things to discover and establish your goals.  Later on, you need to say “no” to a lot of things and concentrate on your goals.

• The fewer possessions you own, the more you will use and enjoy them.

• Screaming at people always makes things worse.

• Not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
