My fave quotation now is "NO GUTS, NO GLORY" -- In life, one must take risks. Because if I just dream and wish for something without taking any actions, I'll not be able to achieve it. There are times when I might be disappointed at the outcome...but at least I've tried.

Mine would be something that I came up during college:
"Everybody gets what they deserver.."
Kind'a like what comes around goes around. Still, if you want something, you gotta do something so that you would deserve that interest later on.

I collect quotes, and have tons and tons of favorites; I could not possibly choose just one. I can, however, narrow it down to a few that are way up there:
"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence, but the mastery of his passions." -Alfred Lord Tennyson
"To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state." -Goethe
"All that glitters is not gold." -German Proverb
"I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution." -Wernher von Braun
"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results." -Winston Churchill
"Strive for perfection in everything you do. Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn't exist, design it." -Sir Henry Royce
"Don't part with your illusions. When they're gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live." -Mark Twain
"Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it." -Robert A. Heinlein
...and there are plenty more where those came from!

my favorite motto is:
"I ONLY GOT ONE SHOT IN LIFE, WHY WASTE IT TO SLEEP"...
"I ONLY GOT ONE LIFE TO LIVE, SO MAKE THE MOST OF EVERYTHING"...
for me, i think 24 hours is not enough to do all what i want to do in one day. i grab all chances and opportunity in life.
i don't want to have any regrets before i die that there is something that i could have done when i was still around.

Paris! International! HAHA! - from the movie "View from the Top" of Gwyneth Paltrow!
I love the movie so much! And it motivates me to work hard for my dreams, especially my dream to become a flight attendant. Go!
PARIS! INTERNATIONAL!

Mine is "If others can do why can't I" and "Try and try until you succeed". With these Motto I I feel I can do everything. It really gives me confident. Before I was too shy and timid but when my dad taught me those sayings it really lift my confidence. Thanks to my dad. Happy mylotting friend.
