Earl Nightingale
Image
But the 3% who have taken the time and exercised the discipline to decide on a destination and to chart a course sail straight and far across the deep oceans of life, reaching one port after another and accomplishing more in just a few years than the rest accomplish in a lifetime.
Earl Nightingale
Image
The only person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal. That's the person who says, 'I'm going to become this' and then begins to work toward that goal
Earl Nightingale
Image
Your world and everything in it is a reflection of your own mental attitude toward yourself.
Earl Nightingale
Image
Throughout all history, the great wise men and teachers, philosophers, and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different things. It is only on this one point that they are in complete and unanimous agreement. We become what we think about
Earl Nightingale
Image
Our attitude towards others determines their attitude towards us.
Earl Nightingale
Image
Successful people are not people without problems. They are people who have learned to solve their problems.
Earl Nightingale

Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without problems, there would be little reason to think at all.
Earl Nightingale
Image
Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service.
