Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll' philosophy.

The teacher who would be true to his mission and accomplish the most good, must give prominence to moral as well as intellectual instruction.

Daisaku Ikeda

There is a universal law; INTENT is the cause, your life is the effect.

Steve Maraboli

I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.

Salvador Dali

I've always mistrusted that sort o' learning as leaves folks foolish and unreasonable about business.
