OG MANDINO'S QUOTES 2


24. I will persist until I succeed.

I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases such as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools.  I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair.  I will toil and endure.  I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep my eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.  

25. I will persist until I succeed.

 I remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good.  I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chances of success at the next attempt.  Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea.  Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come.  Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck.  I must have night to appreciate the day.  I must fail often to succeed only once.

26. I will persist until I succeed.

I will try, and try and try again.  Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession.  I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

27. I will persist until I succeed.

Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work.  When each day is ended, not regarding whether it has been a success or failure, I will attempt to achieve one more sale.  When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward I will persist the temptation to depart.  I will try again.  I will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails I will make another.  Never will I allow my day to end with a failure.  Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow’s success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labour at a prescribed time.  When others cease their struggle, then mine will begin and my harvest will be full.

28. I will persist until I succeed.

Nor will I allow yesterday’s success to lull me into today’s camp latency, for this is the great foundation of failure.  I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.  So long as there is breadth in me, that long will I persist.  For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; I will persist long enough until l win.

I will persist

I will win

29. I am nature’s greatest miracle.

Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth.  None that came before me, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me.  All men are my brothers yet I am different from each.  I am unique creature.

30. I am nature’s greatest miracle.

Although I am of the animal kingdom, animal rewards alone will not satisfy me.  Within me burns a flame which has been passed from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will.  I will fan this flame of dissatisfaction and proclaim my uniqueness to the world.

None can duplicate my brush strokes, none can make my chisel marks, none can duplicate my handwriting, none can produce my child, and in truth, none has the ability to sell exactly as I. 

Henceforth I will capitalize on this difference for it; it is an asset to be promoted to the fullest.

31. I am nature’s greatest miracle.

Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make.  Instead will I make my uniqueness on display in the marketplace.  I will proclaim it, yea, I will sell it.  I will begin now to accent my differences; hide my similarities.  So will I apply this principle to the goods I sell.  Salesman and goods different from all others, and proud of the difference.

32. I am a unique creature of nature.

I am rare, and there is value in all vanity; therefore, I am valuable.  I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men who preceded me.

But my skills, my heart and my body will stagnate, rot and die lest I put them to good use.  I have unlimited potential.  Only small portion of my brain do I employ; only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex.  A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this I will do, beginning today.

Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday’s accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge.  I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will; for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?

33. I am nature’s greatest miracle. 

I am not on this earth by chance.  I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to think small like a grain of sand.  Henceforth will apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell, thus my sales will multiply.  I will practice, and improve and polish the words I utter to sell my goods, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career and never will I forget that many have attained great wealth and success with only one sales talk; delivered with excellence.  Also will I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.

I am nature’s greatest miracle.  I will concentrate my energy on the challenge of the moment and my actions will help me forget all else.  The problems.
