  1. oh.. Dale Carnegie.. He is brilliant and his books are the best! I like most of his quotes and would like to share some with you =)

    " Feeling sorry for yourself, and you present condition, is not only a waste of energy but the worst habit you could possibly have. "

    " Most of us have far more courage than we ever dreamed we possessed. "

    " You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing. "

    " Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success. "
