Motivation is important for us humans to do things, whether small acts or big achievements.
Motivational quotes are one of the many motivators out there, but do you consider them to be really useful, and could push you to work hard or do a specific job?
I sometimes find them as an impulse to start doing some work, but sometimes, nothing can motivate me.
Some people even consider them to be mere blah-blah.
I'd like to know your opinions & views on this. Please share with us! :)

I find motivational speakers and sound bites often misleading. In Hamlet, by Shakespeare, the character Polonius offers each character pearls of wisdom that help get each of them killed (including himself)

@EricMcCole there is no guarenteed formula for success but such speakers sound like they think there is

@arthurchappell - Yes, they do. They even sometimes sound like it's just very easy & it's us who didn't want to achieve that thing.

Yes, you're right! We should follow them smartly and always remember that everyone's situation is different. :)

There is one motivation saying from the former football coach of the Chicago Bears who is the late George S. Halas which is "Nobody who ever gave it his best ever regretted it."

So right & true! We have to work hard and do all that we're able to do, so as not to regret later! :)

@EricMcCole The late George Halas was before my time. I found his quote on Brainy Quote.

Yes, pushing oneself can be the only thing to do in some cases. ;)

One of my favorite motivational quotes is by Wayne Gretzky. "You miss 100% of the shots you dont take."
So true. Grasp every opportunity that presents itself.
