Believe that even the smallest compliment can save someone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life<\/p>\n<p>2.

Understand that kids are smarter than we make them out to be<\/p>\n<p>4. Just because old people are old, doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost their youth<\/p>\n<p>5. Talent can be found under the dirtiest rock or in the most hopeless slum<\/p>\n<p>6. Just because someone is poor in wealth doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean they are poor in spirit<\/p>\n<p>7. Poverty is the greatest gift you can give a person. It is only then that they will have a choice to either become valuable or die as a quitter<\/p>\n<p>8. Let the naysayers say nay and allow the criticizers to criticize: in the end you will have found greater happiness having pursued your dream<\/p>\n<p>9. If a baby can smile living off of only breast milk and a mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s love, you can smile too<\/p>\n<p>10. The prettiest people can do the ugliest things<\/p>\n<p>11. You are no different than the squirrel on that branch. You both eat a lot, hibernate for the winter, and have a tendency to be curious of humankind<\/p>\n<p>12. From the CEO of a major corporation to the lowly janitor who sweeps where his boss stands; they are all insecure<\/p>\n<p>13. To be creative is the most valuable thing in the world; don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let anyone tell you otherwise<\/p>\n<p>14. People conform because there is strength in numbers, but true strength comes from the person brave enough to stand alone<\/p>\n<p>15. Unrealistic goals are hardly ever achieved not because they are impossible, but because everyone is too scared to make them real<\/p>\n<p>16. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be afraid to let those go who are hindrance to your high self-esteem, the life blood of your success<\/p>\n<p>17. Embarrassment is a pointless emotion that only serves to confuse and over exaggerate reality<\/p>\n<p>18. The only ways to stop negativity is to avoid it completely or face it head on<\/p>\n<p>19. Irrational self confidence is worth more than rational defeatism<\/p>\n<p>20. To live in no one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s reality but the one you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve created for yourself is to achieve true happiness<\/p>\n<p>21. Giving is one of the most underrated tactics to getting what you want<\/p>\n<p>22. Fear the person who dreams unrealistically; one day he may acquire what he desireshel<\/p>\n<p>23. Everyone has a weakness<\/p>\n<p>24. Live and die as your passion; to be known as anything else is an insult to your existence<\/p>\n<p>25. Do not deprive yourself or others of the gift of cartoons. Their creativity, hilarity, and curiosity have made me who I am today<\/p>\n<p>26. Quiet patience and adaptive persistence are the two keys to perpetual happiness<\/p>\n<p>27. Never feel ashamed of your natural instincts. They are there for a reason<\/p>\n<p>28. Look at the people you are following in their footsteps. Is that the person you wish to be?<\/p>\n<p>29. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t indulge in distractions that are short-lived and derail your long term efforts<\/p>\n<p>30. To create a piece of art is to exist as a God within your mental domain<\/p>\n<p>31. The movers in this world are the ones who create and consume only what coincides with their ultimate vision of themselves<\/p>\n<p>32. Things are never as they seem. Always dig deeper to find the gold beneath the rock<\/p>\n<p>33. Stereotypes don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t come out of thin air; all that is left for you now is to disprove them<\/p>\n<p>34. Any crack in your resilience will be exploited if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t patch it up from time to time<a href=\"http:\/\/learnthis.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/732172_changes.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[2990]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" title=\"732172_changes\" src=\"http:\/\/learnthis.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/732172_changes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>35. Being assertive is a sign of a steadfast will<\/p>\n<p>36. Negative people don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t deserve your time; positive people crave it<\/p>\n<p>37. When your beliefs are tested, bring evidence to prove them wrong (granted you actually feel the need to)<\/p>\n<p>38. When you have the strength to ask for more even after being knocked down countless times, there is nothing you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t achieve<\/p>\n<p>39. To look down to the ground is a sign of weakness. Look forward to showcase your unshakable confidence<\/p>\n<p>40. Even one who is deaf can produce the most beautiful music<\/p>\n<p>41. How much do you want success? How far are you willing to go?<\/p>\n<p>42. A true genius is one who can sit for hours intensely focused on what he loves<\/p>\n<p>43. Do not screw around with your time. It is the only thing within your absolute control<\/p>\n<p>44. The only sense of entitlement you should feel is toward living your passion<\/p>\n<p>45. The answers are always right in front of us. Just open your eyes<\/p>\n<p>46. If you do not want to put in the work to make your dreams real then you do not deserve the right to put down anyone who fails in trying<\/p>\n<p>47. The human brain contains 15-33 billion neurons; do not tell yourself that you are not creative<\/p>\n<p>48. Do not let yourself fall into despair; it is a massive waste of time and emotion<\/p>\n<p>49. People don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell you to try new things because it sounds \u00e2\u20ac\u0153adventurous\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. They say it because it actually works<\/p>\n<p>50. If today was your last day, how many of these words would you actually follow?<\/p>\n<p>51. To be an authority of any kind, you must earn and emanate respect<\/p>\n<p>52. When in doubt, just laugh. Find amusement in how absurd your situation is then come out of the gate with full force<\/p>\n<p>53. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t admire those who are simply hard workers with lots of awards under their belts. Idolize the people who are successful by working hard doing what they love<\/p>\n<p>54.\u00c2\u00a0 Life won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let you you get by with being stupid. You have to have knowledge of some kind to live in this wor<\/p>\n<p>55. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t confuse being stupid with being stubborn. Sometimes trying harder is all it takes<\/p>\n<p>56. Do NOT allow anyone to disrespect you or make you feel less than you know you are<\/p>\n<p>57. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t blame someone else for being better than you. Blame yourself for not working harder<\/p>\n<p>58. Hard work is not something we should run away from. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s pointless work we should fear<\/p>\n<p>59. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t carry everything on your shoulders; that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what friends are for<\/p>\n<p>60. When you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve lost your spirit, spend some time with youth. Their thirst for life and exploration will no doubt re-invigorate you<\/p>\n<p>61. The fact that nothing in life is guaranteed is both a blessing and a curse<\/p>\n<p>62. There is never only one choice: you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to go up after you hit rock bottom. You can also choose to stay there<\/p>\n<p>63. Sometimes you have to realize when you just aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t good at something; this is the best time to regroup<\/p>\n<p>64. Using old-age methods to solve new-age problems is setting yourself up for failure<\/p>\n<p>65. When you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been sitting in the same spot for hours, trying to get something absolutely perfect, give yourself more than just a pat on the back<\/p>\n<p>66. Not many people will risk everything in order to achieve what they want; in other words, be a risk taker and you will reap the rewards<\/p>\n<p>67. Even when you know you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re close to the finish line, never let up<\/p>\n<p>68. The only thing you can change about people are your relationships with them<\/p>\n<p>69. What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s happened in the past is done. The future does not exist yet. The only thing in your mind should be what you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re doing now<\/p>\n<p>70. You may be a great writer, a doctor, a lawyer, or a banker, but at your very core, the only thing we are best at is being ourselves<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reposted in its entirety from <a title=\"LearnThis Post\" href=\"http:\/\/learnthis.ca\/2010\/04\/70-reminders-to-help-you-break-any-barrier\/\" target=\"_blank\">LearnThis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
