    When you fail just blame others, isn’t that what politicians do?

    So you wants motivations? Here you goes.

    Nothing is impossible in life. All my life I has achieved the impossible.

    “The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” – Walt Disney. He didn’t say doing what. So I choose doing the impossible. And nothing is impossible.

    “The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill. What he didn’t say is that what to do when you sees an opportunity to fail in a difficulty.

    You learns more from failure than from success. Don’t let it stops you. Failure builds character. Build a character that’s bigger than the biggest building and breaks the world records.

    It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up. Unless you’re knocked out cold, that is.

    “If you are working on something that you really care about, you don’t have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.” – Steve Jobs. He’s right. Me vision pulls me towards a new monocle.

    Failure is not an option. It’s a consequence. Try and try until you die. And then, six feet under you lie.

    What they doesn’t tells you in em motivational sayings is that they all comes with a conditions apply.

    When we say “failure is not an option” then there can be no risk taken and “success” gets redefined. Sometimes it is appropriate, but there is always negative consequences to address later.

    It’s official: I am the Pig character in this comic. Nice, but somewhat clueless. Could be worse – could be Rat. But I will keep striving towards Goat.
