Quotes about Life

If you are breathing, you are still alive. If you are alive, then you are still here, physically, on this planet. If you are still here, then you have not completed what you were put on earth to do.

I'm not saying that you should live your life according to the whims of others. I am simply pointing out that if you are to become a person of influence — if you want people to believe the things you believe or buy what you are selling — then others must at least be comfortable around you. A successful life has a great deal to do with perspective. And another person's perspective about you can sometimes be as important as your perspective is about yourself.
