Quotes By Larry Winget
The Secret is without a doubt the biggest load of crap ever put on paper.
The marketplace doesn’t care what I love. The market only cares what value I bring. There is no value to anyone but me, my bulldog, grandkids and wife on my list. That’s why no one will pay me for it.
The world, and therefore the workplace, is full of idiots. And the reality of life is that when you get rid of one idiot, another will show up to take his place. It’s the curse of humanity.
If it’s a good idea, do it today. Not tomorrow. A good idea rarely gets better over time.
Be confident. There is no one who is not attracted to confidence. Women dig it. Men love it. Confidence adds hair, drops ten pounds, and takes off ten years.
Businesses get better only when the people in the business get better.
Don’t be different. Different scares people. People won’t spend their money on different. They will, however, pay a premium for unique.
Every single person on the planet is rewarded for one thing and one thing only, and that is for serving other people. The more you serve others, the higher your reward.
I made a deal that I would spend money on only one thing: getting smarter. I bought books. I would skip a meal and skip watching television, but I wouldn’t skip an investment in my brain.
Three main reasons people are not successful:
They are stupid.
They are lazy.
They don’t give a damn.
If you are unhappy, unsuccessful, sick, or broke – please just keep it to yourself. The rest of us don’t want or need to hear about it, so don’t feel compelled to share!
If your life sucks, it’s because you suck.
Mediocre people will be intimidated by your success. That’s because they haven’t been willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their dreams, so their retaliation is to attack you for doing what they haven’t been willing to do.
