   You couldn’t help but succeed with an attitude like that! Most of that list of quotes is worth repeating to yourself each day.

   (I just copied and pasted the full list from your page to a notepad file for my own enjoyment. I will pick my favorites from it each day.)

   The best tip for someone needing extra inspiration is to print out the list, laminate it and place it next to their computer monitor so that they see it each day.

   I personally met Og Mandino. He had an amazing story and was an amazing man. I have an autographed book from him. I’ve had the book for thirty years and still read it on occasion.

   I asked Ted Nicholas once at dinner, ‘who was the most inspirational speaker you ever saw speak.’ As I thought I’d ask the man who knows. He said he saw Napoleon Hill go on and give the presentation of his life to 25 people in a room that would fit 25,000. He said that was inspirational, but the best of the best was Og Mandino.
