Quote me quoting quotes

It seems like centuries ago since the last time I had put up a post on my blog.  Now for most people who know me, and had the "misfortune" of being my friends in Facebook, their timelines likely have been imprinted with random and periodic quotes that I post from time to time.  Now just to kick start my blogging appetite for this year, I'm posting some of the more notable quotes that I had the chance to impart to my dear "readers".

In the game of life, playing hard and working your butt off to be better does not guarantee a win.  The reality is, you can't win them all, but oftentimes, giving yourself a chance to get one is all you could ever ask for.

excellence is a habit, it's not an overnight thing or a flash-in-the-pan kind of event. It starts today, it starts with you.



never try to outdo others, surpassing their greatness will never be enough, rather, aim to outdo yourself, for in doing so, you gain content and fulfillment..

In any endeavor, risks are pretty much inevitable, but to fear it is just a pathetic option. I'd rather needle through controlled chaos, than bask in the revelry of emptiness. We can succeed by applying the rules, but we can only excel by tempting our chances.


it takes a certain level of maturity for someone to appreciate the good things with changes, and a feeble mind, poor character, or just a sense of imbecility to just focus on the difficulties ahead..


the least that we can do is to make a positive difference everyday. It requires no effort so long as you have a bagful of optimism along the way.


trusting someone is like picking a gift from a hollow black box, you don't see what's inside but hope that the one you get is a good one. If you happen to pick the wrong one, let go of it and take your chances picking a new one.


There's no such thing as a perfect marriage, it's never easy to be in one, and likely will never be, but at the end of the day, if you and your partner put in the work together, everything else is insignificant, nothing is too hard to overcome, and the journey of a lifetime is lot more happier to trudge along..



One key to being productive is not to let a single day pass by without accomplishing something worthwhile. Completing something is mere compliance, accomplishing it is excellence..



never regret things you've done in the past, regardless how grim it might have been. After all, we only got the chance to learn after daring to fail, and that in itself is what makes us a better version of ourselves today..



True leaders will never be perfect, but can always strive towards excellence, does not promise equality but drives to be fair, and has no intent to be popular, but works to earn respect...



if you don't like the state that you're in, then quit, otherwise, quit complaining, keep calm, and start looking for solutions.




we lose, we learn, we improve, then hopefully we win, in all this, we must stick together 




True leaders never motivate their people for there's no such thing. Each one of us has our own motivations; a leader's goal though is to let you see it, and act on it on your own, thus the word "empower".




Live life one day at a time and don't spend too much time figuring out what the future will bring. For as long as we strive to do great today, tomorrow will take care of itself..


More to come as we hit the next half of this year.
