It is finally the beginning of school and I cannot say that I am happy about it. Over the years, school has become more of a task than an exciting environment to learn. There are many reasons for this including: bad teachers, late nights, bad grades, stress, etc. Nonetheless, we have to do things that we do not want to do. Plus, we are life long learners, so everyday we learn something new. We buy new school supplies and clothes, put on our best face, and do our best. We do it, because we have goals. We have passions. Ultimately, we strive for happiness.
Since I was feeling the stress of going back to school, I figured you could never go wrong with some motivational and inspirational quotes to put you on the right path. Here are ten quotes that I hope will inspire you to keep pushing and keep striving.
1. Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground. Theodore Roosevelt
2. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Thomas A. Edison
3. Follow your inner moonlight; don’t hide the madness. Allen Ginsberg
4. We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated. Maya Angelou
5. In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can. Nikos Kazantzakis
6. True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful. Paul Sweeney
7. Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. Pele
8. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. Henry David Thoreau
9. Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s about consistency. Consistent hard work leads to success. Greatness will come. Dwayne Johnson
10. Only the educated are free. Epictetus
As we go through school, work, stress, etc, we need to remember that we are working towards our best self. We are chasing our dreams and striving for happiness and success in whatever form that comes in.
