Don't let perfection be the enemy of accomplishment. You have to know when "good enough" is good enough.

Arshath from Sri Lanka - Colombo MARCH 8, 2017
Fantastic Story !!

Laurie from Iowa MAY 3, 2016
I love these quotes! They help inspire me to do my best every day. Self-talk and positive affirmation is key to success.

"Winning here is a conscious decision. Make up your mind whether you want to pass - or choose to fail." Great quote from the movie "Lone Survivor".

STUART D MAYES from LOUISVILLE KY FEBRUARY 18, 2014
FREEDOM FROM SELF TOARMENT IS FREEDOM WHAT WAS TRUELY HOW ONE'SSELF IS MENT TO BE~

bob rice from Rio Vista, California JANUARY 23, 2014
My hero: In 1955, Mr. Jim Huxel, the Principal of my school, pulled me out of the classroom and into his office wherein he gave me swats with a wood panel. I asked him Why me. There were other kids goofing around. Why did you pull only me out of the class.He said, "Because you are smart, you have talent, you can make it - I care about you. Stop goofing around and apply yourself and you will be successful. I walked out of his office with a very sore butt however, I felt fantastic. Someone cares about me, someone thinks I have talent. Ï can do it - Mr. Huxel said so --- and he was right. Bob Rice

Live a bunch of experiences. Have as many great ones as possible.

gary from oklahoma NOVEMBER 17, 2012
Nice site! Need more of it.

peport p. from philippines OCTOBER 18, 2012
I don't see that achievement is the word success. sometimes things are no longer achievable. Achievement is a hope for me. To continue doing things even though it looks not achievable in time but still there's hope,its still success and achievement. It transcends the mere evidences in life.

Ernest Alfred C. Burgos from Philippines OCTOBER 14, 2012
Think positive to achieve everything! Always start the day with a smile and do what are the things that will make you happy! Achievements are best cherished if you don't hit anything, just be humble and achieve what you want...

Eric from Arlington, Texas OCTOBER 9, 2012
Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Even though rationality isn't even on the list, this is the next best thing and I'm glad to see it in the top ten.

Patricia Green from Ferriday,La. JUNE 18, 2012
I try to do my best to steer young people in the right direction. Some of them don't want to even hear what I am trying to tell them so I go to others and am happy if one of them listens. I would be a happy camper if I could reach more young people.

bonnie J Stowers from Merom, Indiana JANUARY 19, 2012
I am planning for the senior year of my middle child Jordyn. Jordy is a 3.985 gpa twenty first century scholar student and a 4 year track athlete as well. She will graduate this May with high academic honors diploma from sullivan high school and go to Franklin or Grace college in the fall. What an achievement Thank you Lord for mercy and grace everyday for her and my other two teenage children.

Mitchell Simpson from Norway House,Manitoba JANUARY 18, 2012
I acheived alot of things over the past month! YAY! :)

Sean from New Zealand OCTOBER 15, 2011
In Maaori, the native tongue of New Zealand, the word for values is 'pumanawa'. Pu = centre, core, cause, stump, heart, foundation. Manawa = heart. As you know, we all live out of our values, whether good or bad. Those that are contrary to being 'tika' or 'true', manifest through emotional pain and destructive behaviours. These values are sown into us at an early age and eventually bear fruit. The fruit tree is an excellent picture of this. As David Riddell (top counsellor and creator of the 'School of Living Wisdom') says, if we don't check the foundations, we cannot affect the repairs. Noho ora mai

Belen from Spain JULY 21, 2011
I love these quotes so much. I think it is good to achieve new goals in life, and at the same time help us to be a little better. Thanks to all people who write these quotes.

Roger E. from BC JULY 18, 2011
Nothing can stop you from anything you want to do, providing your motives are pure, your goals are just, and, great or small, you give your all. If you believe it, you can achieve it.

Anderson de Sousa Almeida from Colatina, ES JULY 1, 2011
Temos tantos desejos a serem realizados, confio em Deus quanto ao meu futuro, posso morrer agora então tudo de fazer é necessário fazer hoje, planejamento, parabéns aos realizadores desse mundo, entrega o teu caminho no senhor, confia nele e ele o fará.

Danielle S. from Florida MAY 2, 2011
You are never too old to achieve something. My mom is now 45 and she just went back to college to achieve it. You cannot be too old to achieve something like that. I hope you know. My mom taught me that one.

Cancan from J.L Newbern MARCH 18, 2011
We can all do anything we set our mind to.

Tracy from Calhoun FEBRUARY 26, 2011
The biggest achievement I value the most is writing and overcoming my obstacles. I have Asperger's Syndrome and writing is the only way I can communicate.

Brian from Cortes Bohol FEBRUARY 25, 2011
Education is in relation with achievement... Education leads us to a more convenient, more powerful achievement.

Ika from Cortes Bohol FEBRUARY 25, 2011
Achievement is a thing that one should be proud of, stand for, and most importantly, perceived for.

Julio Rogelio from Guatemala FEBRUARY 18, 2011
Ke bien todo!

Johnny from Lancaster, SC JANUARY 14, 2011
I will always place God first; my achievement is giving hope to others by the lifestyle that I live.

Randee H from Colorado  JANUARY 12, 2011

Mostafa Elrashidy from Egypt JANUARY 6, 2011
My insistence to do my best in every step of my life,make me achieve good steps in my life. I like this quote that says to be or not to be.

Huiru from Zhejiang province, China AUGUST 16, 2010
I'm a teacher in a high school. I always encourage my students to try their best everyday, so they can make a big progress in a term. People who make everyday efforts win.

Aurora H. from Philadelphia, PA JULY 19, 2010
Why can't we all be respectful? Give encouragement to people who need it. Reach out to people who need a helping hand. Be a good citizen. Learn from mistakes, try to not make them again. But if you try everyday and night, you can make it happen. It takes a good person, with common courtesy for the rest of the world.

Scott from AZ JULY 13, 2010
I just love your commercials. This is what America is all about.

Elizabeth W. from Harrodsburg, Kentucky JUNE 8, 2010
The sense of achievement I have after accomplishing something people said I couldn't do gives me a new light on life and helps me to lift my head just a little bit higher.

Anna C from WA DECEMBER 7, 2009
I am glad to see someone else believes achievement is a value.

HIA L. from GEMANY  SEPTEMBER 3, 2009
