I’ve been feeling down, exhausted… but we all need to push forward. I found some quotes that made me feel a little better, hope they will help you too. “I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come.” Abraham Lincoln “Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.” Albert Einstein “No profit grows where no pleasure is taken; In brief, sir, study what you most affect” William Shakespeare “Study without reflection is a waste of time; reflection without study is dangerous” Confucius “Study as if you were going to live forever; live as if you were going to die tomorrow.” Maria Mitchell “The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.” Vincent T. Lombardi “The secret of getting ahead is getting started” Mark Twain "The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it " Michelangelo “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” Wayne Dyer “The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right.” Edward Simmons [so true for the CFA exams] “If at first you do succeed try not to look too surprised.” Anonymous “Success: willing to do what the average person is not willing to do.” Anonymous [my favorite]
