If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
Zig ZiglarRead
There is no such thing as a lazy person; he is either sick or uninspired.
Interpretation
People perceived as lazy may actually be facing illness or a lack of inspiration.
Zig Ziglar's quote suggests that what society often labels as laziness is a misinterpretation of deeper issues such as health problems or a lack of motivation. Instead of stigmatizing individuals for not being active, we should consider their circumstances and seek to inspire them or help address their challenges.

I decide my future. I decide what I want to do. Nobody else. If I decide this will be my last year, maybe it is. If I decide it will be my last contract, I decide that. Nobody else. So I will decide when the moment is there.
Who has to have a soapbox when all you've ever needed is your voice?
Do what you LOVE to do, and do it so well that those who come to see you do it will bring others to watch you do it again and again and again.
I started to repeat to myself "If I'm not where I want to be, it's because I'm not good enough... yet." Which meant it was up to me.
No horse gets anywhere until he is harnessed. No stream or gas drives anything until it is confined. No Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows great until it is focused, dedicated, disciplined.
The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
