Achievement Quotes for Students

Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit. 
- Conrad Hilton

The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still favorable. Favorable conditions never come. 
- C.S. Lewis

There are no shortcuts to life's greatest achievements.
- Anonymous

You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand. 
- Woodrow Wilson

Five minutes, just before going to sleep, given to a bit of directed imagination regarding achievement possibilities of the morrow, will steadily and increasingly bear fruit, particularly if all ideas of difficulty, worry or fear are resolutely ruled out and replaced by those of accomplishment and smiling courage. 
- Frederick Pierce

Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. 
- Ayn Rand

Someone has defined genius as intensity of purpose: the ability to do, the patience to wait. . . . Put these together and you have genius, and you have achievement. 
- Leo J. Muir

Tomorrow

Tomorrow smile at someone
That you've never seen before.
Take time to think of others that
You feel compassion for.

Tomorrow tell somebody
How they brighten up your day.
Let random acts of kindness
Put your feelings on display.

Tomorrow hug your children
Somewhat tighter than before.
Be sure to think of all the things
You can be thankful for.

Pat your dog a little longer.
Hug and kiss your husband/wife.
Thank your God for granting you
Another day of life.

The Fighter

I fight a battle every day
Against discouragement and fear;
Some foe stands always in my way,
The path ahead is never clear!
I must forever be on guard
Against the doubts that skulk along;
I get ahead by fighting hard,
But fighting keeps my spirit strong.

I hear the croakings of Despair,
The dark predictions of the weak;
I find myself pursued by Care,
No matter what the end I seek;
My victories are small and few,
It matters not how hard I strive;
Each day the fight begins anew,
But fighting keeps my hopes alive.

My dreams are spoiled by circumstance,
My plans are wrecked by Fate or Luck;
Some hour, perhaps, will bring my chance,
But that great hour has never struck;
My progress has been slow and hard,
I've had to climb and crawl and swim,
Fighting for every stubborn yard,
But I have kept in fighting trim.

I have to fight my doubts away,
And be on guard against my fears;
The feeble croaking of Dismay
Has been familiar through the years;
My dearest plans keep going wrong,
Events combine to thwart my will,
But fighting keeps my spirit strong,
And I am undefeated still!
- S.E. Kiser

Best Integrity Quotes

To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.
- Douglas Adams


Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not.
- Oprah Winfrey


Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs self-denial; in all places it is liable to opposition, but its end is glorious, and the universe will yet do it homage.
- Charles Simmons


Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.
- John D. MacDonald


Integrity has no need of rules.
- Albert Camus

Best Communication Quotes

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.
- Anthony Robbins


If we are strong, our strength will speak for itself. If we are weak, words will be of no help.
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy




A man has a property in his opinions and the free communication of them.
- James Madison 


Talking and eloquence are not the same: to speak and to speak well are two things. 
A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.
- Heinrich Heine


Communication is not only the essence of being human, but also a vital property of life. 
- John A. Piece



When we have the courage to speak out – to break our silence – we inspire the rest of the "moderates" in our communities to speak up and voice their views.
- Sharon Schuster



The art of communication is the language of leadership.
- James Humes

The World Can Be Won

Do not let your fire go out, spark by an irreplaceable spark,
in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.

Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,
but have never been able to reach.

Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won.
It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Great Chanakya Quotes

Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, 
What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply 
and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.


Once you start a working on something,
don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it.
People who work sincerely are the happiest.


Education is the best friend.
An educated person is respected everywhere.
Education beats the beauty and the youth.


An Egoist can be won over by being Repected.
A Crazy person can be won ove by allowing him to behave in an insane manner, and
A Wise person can be won over by Truth.

Within You Is The Strength To Meet Life's Challenges!

You are stronger than you think,
remember to stand tall.
Every challenge in your life
helps you to grow.
Every problem you encounter
strengthens your mind and your soul.
Every trouble you overcome
increases your understanding of life.

When all your troubles weigh
heavily on your shoulders,
remember that beneath the burden
you can stand tall,
because you are never given
more than you can handle...
and you are stronger than you think.

New Day is Here !!!

Above the dark horizon soon
new light rays will appear.
They signify to all the world
a fresh new day is here.

The sun has risen, and its light
may bring us hope for peace--
and with a deeper faith in God,
we pray that wars may cease.

Our time on earth is but a test--
a test we must not fail.
By building values, growth in faith,
may love from hate prevail.

So each new day we start once more
with rising of the sun.
May we have gained in stature when
our final day is done.

Greatest Disapproval Of Life

Many of us unconsciously believe that we're unworthy.
We adopt this belief very early in our lives,
when the people we looked up to disapprove our demands, wishes and behaviors.
We then conclude that we are no good.

The greatest disapproval is not when others put you down,
it is when you put down yourself.

Promise Yourself

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
Disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
Every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
Something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
Optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
And expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
As you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
Greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
Every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
That you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
Strong for fear, and to happy to permit the Presence of trouble.

You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!

There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be;
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do.

Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
Doing what you want to do,
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream.

And though at times it may seem too
difficult to continue,
Hold on to your dream.

One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of,
Doing what you wanted to do,
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream.

The Power of Leverage

Studying and practicing the principles of effective delegation have given you the foundation necessary to exploit the power of leverage. We will now examine other forms of this key tool of professional and business success. Each of the seven forms of leverage can help you expand the reach of your own talents and strengths. Each involves building on the work, talents, experiences, and contacts of other people. 

Leveraging Other People's Energy :
The most productive people make sure they have time for the few things that give them the highest payoff by routinely seeking to delegate or outsource their lower-value activities. 

Leveraging Other People's Knowledge :
Applying one simple piece of key knowledge to your situation can make a world of difference in the result you achieve. Finding and applying knowledge from another source can spare you tremendous amounts of money and labor. Follow the lead of successful people and scan books, magazines, tapes, articles, and conferences for ideas and insights you can use to help you achieve your goals faster. 

Leveraging Other People's Money :
Knowing how and when to take advantage of other people's money—by borrowing or otherwise tapping into other people's financial resources—empowers you to achieve things that would be beyond your reach if you relied solely on your own resources. Seek out opportunities to borrow and invest, achieving returns in excess of the cost of the borrowed funds. Among the many sources for funds, consider, for example, chartered banks, savings and loan associations, venture capitalists, and public and private offerings of securities. 

Leveraging Other People's Successes :
Study the successes that other people and companies have achieved to gain insights into their challenges and solutions. Most successful people have paid their dues in terms of money, energy, commitment, and even failure to arrive at the top of their fields. Learn from their experiences. 

Leveraging Other People's Failures :
As Benjamin Franklin said, "Man can either buy his wisdom or borrow it. By buying it, he pays full price in personal time and treasure. By borrowing it, he capitalizes on the lessons learned from the failures of others." Listen carefully to the stories of truly successful people. Those who genuinely wish to support you will share with you their failures as well as their successes. 

Leveraging Other People's Ideas :
A single good idea, developed with passion and commitment, can give birth to a fortune. The greater your exposure to a range of ideas—gained through reading, studying, interaction, and experimentation—the greater the chance you will come across one that will lead you to enduring success. 

Leveraging Other People's Contacts of Other People's Credibility :
Everyone you know has friends, acquaintances, and professional contacts. Many of these people can make a positive impact on your career or business. Among all the people you know or are connected to in some way, who might open doors for you?

Brighter Tomorrows

Never stop caring about the little things in life,
Never stop dreaming or give in to strife.

Never stop building bridges that lead to promising tomorrows,
Never stop trying or give in to sorrows.

Never stop smiling and looking forward to each new day,
But most of all my friend...
Never stop shining in your own special way.

Never forget that all storms can clear.
The grayest sky can turn pure blue.
Remember, brighter tomorrows are near...

Things Work Out

Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't,
Because men do what they often shouldn't,
Because crops fail, and plans go wrong
Some of us grumble all day long.
But somehow, in spite of the care and doubt,
It seems at last that things work out.

Because we lose where we hoped to gain,
Because we suffer a little pain,
Because we must work when we'd like to play
Some of us whimper along life's way.
But somehow, as day always follows the night,
Most of our troubles work out all right.

Because we cannot forever smile,
Because we must trudge in the dust awhile,
Because we think that the way is long
Some of us whimper that life's all wrong.
But somehow we live and our sky grows bright,
And everything seems to work out all right.

So bend to your trouble and meet your care,
For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair.
Let the rain come down, as it must and will,
But keep on working and hoping still.
For in spite of the grumblers who stand about,
Somehow, it seems, all things work out.

- Edgar A. Guest

- Raja Akhtar

Outstanding people have one thing in common: an absolute sense of mission.
- Zig Ziglar

In everything, goodness is there. Our goal is to find it.
In every person, the best is there, our job is to recognise it.
In every situation, the positive is there, our opportunity is to see it.
In every problem, the solution is there, our responsibility is to provide it.
In every setback, the success is there, our adventure is to discover it.
In every crisis, the reason is there, our challenge is to understand it.
By seeing the goodness, we'll be very enthusiastic and our lives will be all the richer.
- Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu
