All the gold in the world cannot buy a dying man one more breath--so what does that make today worth?
Og MandinoDo the very best that you can, in the things you do best, and you will know in thy soul, that you are the greatest success in the world.
Og MandinoNever allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. Guard your fragile life carefully. Only God can shape a flower, but any foolish child can pull it to pieces.
Og MandinoIf our lives are truly plans of God, someone had better call a meeting soon to remind us, once more, what great miracles we really are.
Og MandinoThe only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what the task may be. This is a habit followed by all successful people since the beginning of time. Therefore I saith the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.
Og Mandino
