"Success is figuring out how to acheive the most by doing the least. But you've got to stay focussed on the "most", or end up settling for the least."

"Learn to run hard. Learn to nap. But also learn WHEN to run hard and WHEN to nap. Those that lie down and nap at the wrong times often wake up and wonder why they aren't someplace better."

....both from my dad, in a rare moment when he wasn't being a goof

“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”


“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”


"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more of it I have"

"The heights by great men reached and kept/were not attained by sudden flight/ But they, while thier companions slept/ were toiling upward in the night"
 
All men dream;
But not equally.

We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
-Vince Lombardi

Don't worry about people telling you that you are doing too much and you will burnout; burning out is mental and if you are tough you can do anything.

"Build up your weaknesses until they become your strengths."
Knute Rockne

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill

"You can have anything you want, if you want it badly enough" - Abraham Lincoln

A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. -Albert Einstein

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all
- George Santayana

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.”


"Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible." - Doug Larson

“You choose to be poor, average, or excellent at what you do..."
-Joe Vigil on the death of Pro Marathoner Ryan Shay

"Around here, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious... And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
 
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more of it I have"

In regards to luck:

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity."

I first heard this quote from Dr. Yarborough, when he was dean of admission at Pacific.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them. *Denis Watley*

You don't have to be a fantastic hero to do certain things - to compete. You can be just an ordinary chap, sufficiently motivated to reach challenging goals. "Edmund Hillary"

That quote made a great commercial. http://youtube.com/watch?v=45mMioJ5szc

I can tell you right now, if you want to succeed in dental school live by these quotes.
 
I like posts like this and sites like SDN for this reason because it reminds you that no matter where you are in your education or what predicament you may be in with it that it is possible to succeed because someone who was once in your shoes has done it before. The Under 3.0 Club is a HUGE motivator as well.

I got this quote from someone's signature on SDN. I don't know if it was theirs or someone else's, but I liked it.

"How you handle failure says much more about your character than years and years of success. It's easy to fail. It's easy to give up. It's a bitch to admit you lost. Just ask how you can win tomorrow."

And I kinda like my signature as well.
 
And Chris...the only thing that brings you above 100%....

i heard oprah say this 🙂
 
i heard oprah say this 🙂

And Seneca said it before that 🙂

That's why I said I heard it first from Dr. Y. I was too lazy to research where it came from.

Regardless of all that, I like it. 🙂

I have always considered myself very lucky, catching a lot of breaks. But one thing I do is put a lot of preparation into things. So for once it all made sense.



EDIT: Woooah... Didn't realize it when typing, but there are just was too many smiley faces in this post.
