Popular quotes about Achieving! Wisdom and inspiration are here! | page 17
Whatever you do with your life-whatever you end up achieving or not achieving-the great gift you have in you to give to the world is the gift of who you alone are; your way of seeing things, and saying things, and feeling about things, that is like nobody elseโs. If so much as a single one of you were missing, there would be an empty place at the great feast of life that nobody else in all creation could fill.

Mark Victor HansenFor Americans the contradiction between national ideal and social fact required explanation and correction. Ultimately this contradiction did not lead to the abandonment of the ideal of equal opportunity but rather to its postponement: to the notion of achieving for the next generation what could not be achieved for the current one. And the chief means to this end was a brilliant American invention: universal, free, compulsory public education. This "solution" was especially important for children and families because it gave children a central role in achieving the national ideal.

That's why when you think about a polo shirt you think about Ralph - he owns that garment.

Ken RobinsonIt's a cultural disability in America that we worship pleasure, leisure, and affluence. I think the church is doubly damned when they use Jesus as a vehicle for achieving all of that.

You should be giving ninety percent. Cause God can handle money better than we can.

Sidney LumetOnly those who do not expect anything are never disappointed. Only those who never try, never fail. Anyone who is currently achieving anything in life is simultaneously risking failure.

People, including the families and many others throughout Mexican society, aren't going to give up in fighting for just that kind of change.
