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?

When I think of this exam, I think of that proverb about eating an elephant… one bite at a time. Here's a visual to emphasize the point:

Here is one of my mainstays:

If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves.

Thomas A. Edison

Then I would add a dollop of this for good measure:

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”

Mahatma Gandhi

[Zaiitz3]

@katiekanton, I have never heard of that proverb until now, and the amazing picture was a great introduction to it. LOVE IT!

@yankeeaccountant, I hope everyone at Another71 will astound themselves 😉 (me included…)

My mom gave me a quote when I first started studying that I keep on my wall:

Believe you can and you are halfway there

---

Teddy Roosevelt

She gave me another one the other day:

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs, but by how high he bounces when he hits bottom.—George S Patton

“The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when you get it. Cause anything worth having, is definitely worth waiting..”

Or so this is what I have told myself the past 17 months 🙂

– There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say “WATCH ME”-

I love this thread. Some quotes on perseverance:

“Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.”

-Author Unknown

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

-Calvin Coolidge (“What DID Calvin Coolidge say?” I'll give a candy bar to anybody who knows where that quote came from.)

“To believe in yourself and to follow your dreams, to have goals in life and a drive to succeed, and to surround yourself with the things and the people that make you happy – this is success!”

-Sasha Azevedo

“If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.”

-Author Unknown
