Before this weekend’s Power 10/15/20, I feel like it would be great to have a collection of quotes or saying that motivate YOU (in hopes that it will motivate all the readers of Another71)

Mine is posted as my signature: “It always seems impossible until its done.” Nelson Mandela

We WILL complete the CPA journey, even if it’s discouraging at times… What’s your quote?

The cost of not following your heart, is spending the rest of your life wishing you had.

Here are my favorites, not necessarily from famous people but important people to me:

You can do anything you put your mind to. – My grandmother

The only way to fail is to quit. – My dad

If you didn't get a passing grade then get pissed and show it who's boss, you or a bunch of questions! – once again my dad (I cleaned that one up a bit to post here. The old man wasn't known for polite conversation.)

Very interesting thread.

The one that motivates me is the following:

“I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.”

My all time favorite quote, maybe not motivating but I like it and I have no idea who said it.

“Well behaved women rarely make history.”

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something I can do.” ~ Edward Everett Hale

A wounded deer leaps highest–Emily Dickinson

This is actually the opening line to one of her poems and it kindsof sums up my approach to passing REG after last weeks disappointng 68:(

Oh, I am glad this thread got pulled up again! I never saw it when it was started months ago!

I saw this one a couple months ago and I love it:

The only one who can stop you from achieving your goals is you. Don't let YOU stop YOU.

Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Someone once said of achieving a dream or goal much like becoming a CPA: It's like filling a 5 gallon bucket with an eyedropper. It's a long slow process but drop by drop, the bucket will be filled!

FAR Passed

BEC Passed

All aboard, this train's leaving. Next stop, TBD!

Take action on those wonderful dreams you've had in your mind for so long. Remember, success is something you experience when you act accordingly. Success is not something you HAVE, its something you DO.

@Kricket “Well behaved women rarely make history.” _ I believe this was said by Mae West 🙂

I love candothis's contribution of Emily Dickinson “A wounded deer leaps highest”. Nothing screams wounded deer like a pissed off CPA candidate.

My contribution, this is classically written on a sticky note stuck to my monitor:

“When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.” I don't know the origin, but I got it from this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiahgrMr4vE&noredirect=1

Bump. Love this thread.

Found this quote today…found it fitting: “the voice in your head that says you can't do it is a liar.” (can not find an author)

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.” Not sure of the source on this one, but I have it taped to my monitor at work to keep me going!

I also love this quote from Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own “It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.” So very true! 🙂

BEC - PASSED!
FAR - PASSED!
AUD - PASSED!
