“Mistakes have to be made in order for them to be fixed, making mistakes and fixing them helps us all get better at something, so that it makes us stronger each time.” – Alex Smithson

“Don’t let anyone in the world tell you that you’re ready for anything. Tell the world that you are ready to do the things what you want to do in life on your own terms, and not on anyone else’s terms.” – Alex Smithson

“In life, we all have to make sacrifices in order to become better at certain things we weren’t better at before, and by making sacrifices, this will make us all become stronger in ourselves, all of us will also believe in ourselves more for the sacrifices we’ve made, and at the end, all of the hard work and effort will pay off. Make sacrifices to make ends meet, and also make sacrifices so that all of the hard work and effort you’ve made pays dividends.” – Alex Smithson

“Define yourself as someone who has the energy to reach their potential and become the best at something.

Don’t define yourself to look like you’ve got no potential. Define yourself to show everyone what you can do, and not the other way around.

Don’t let anyone define you and make you into something that makes you look like the bad character. Define yourself as a good character, and go and strive for every opportunity that’s available.

Take a chance, make a change, and do the things you want to do, all for the right reasons.” – Alex Smithson

“Don’t hate yourself. Love yourself and be strong for yourself. Don’t let anyone bring you down. Ride through the pain and you’ll get through it with strength, determination and courage. Remember this, you have to go through the pain in order to become stronger, not just on the outside, but also on the inside.” – Alex Smithson

“Lifelines are thrown at us to help us get stronger at what we do.
Make the most of every opportunity wisely and make those opportunities you get worth your while.
Go for every opportunity available now whilst you still can, because they might never come around again in your life.” – Alex Smithson

“Hey, always remember this. Be who you want to be & don’t let the world form you into something you’re not. Make the world accept you.” – MarQuis Trill

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” – Vince Lombardi

“Do more of what makes you happy.” – Alfie Deyes

“It’s not where you begin that matters. It’s where you end up.” – Joey Graceffa

“This will be a revolution of inquiring further, of not worrying about winning other people’s approval, of not wishing you were someone else but perfectly content to be who you are. Someone unique, and rare, and fearless. I want to start a revolution of love.” – Madonna

“If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.” – Milton Berle

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success”. – Swami Sivananda

“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” – Albert Einstein

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
