Nathaniel Emmons

The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we hit it.

I would say to do you and do you well. Don’t try to be anyone else. Don’t try to emulate what someone is doing. Play to your strengths. Even if you see someone onstage that is killing it, don’t try to do what they’re doing. Just keep doing you.

Yes, it’s absolutely true that anything worth doing is worth doing poorly – until you can learn to do it well.

I’m constantly amazed that owners and managers of all businesses don’t train their people to call the person who pays by credit card by name. It definitely makes the customer feel good and will be a factor in bringing them back to your place of business.

I only work with the best.

You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.

A goal properly set is halfway reached.

Remember that failure is an event, not a person.

The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to doDon’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.

There is no substitute for hard work.

Just the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Find the game where you can win, and then commit your life to playing it; and play to win.

You don’t have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going.

Vision remains vision until you focus, do the work, and bring it down to earth where it will do some good.
