The Motivated Gentleman

1. "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."

2. "People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being," said the old man, with a certain bitterness. 'Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too. But that's the way it is.'"

3. "The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon."

4. "The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them."

5. "Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart."

6. "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."

7. "One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now."

8. "No one can lie, no one can hide anything when he looks directly into someone's eyes."

9. "It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."

10. "The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion."

11. "People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being," said the old man, with a certain bitterness. "Maybe that's why they give up on it so early, too. But that's the way it is."

12. "Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure."
