preparation

In league with being graced by greatness, prepare to be greeted, by all that is beneath you.

Why not seize the pleasure at once? -- How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

Preparation:allows you to prevent . . .the intensity of the ordeal.

When the noise is gone, and the air is still . . .prepare for survival.

From now on, it is our task to suspect each and everyone amongst us. Forewarned is forearmed. Take no risks and be alert to danger. That is all.

Most people fail in life because they were not prepared for the opportunities when they appeared.

Athletes train 15 years for 15 seconds of performance. Ask them if they got lucky. Ask an athlete how he feels after a good workout. He will tell you that he feels spent. If he doesn't feel that way, it means he hasn't worked out to his maximum ability. Losers think life is unfair. They think only of their bad breaks. They don't consider that the person who is prepared and playing well still got the same bad breaks but overcame them. That is the difference. His threshold for tolerating pain becomes higher because in the end he is not training so much for the game but for his character. Alexander Graham Bell was desperately trying to invent a hearing aid for his partially deaf wife. He failed at inventing a hearing aid but in the process discovered the principles of the telephone. You wouldn't call someone like that lucky, would you?Good luck is when opportunity meets preparation. Without effort and preparation, lucky coincidences don't happen.

Our past is the forge upon which we are hardened and tempered, to prepare us for the present. We are like a fine blade that must be hammered into shape before it can be ready to make its finest cuts.

At thirty a man steps out of the darkness and wasteland of preparation into active life it is the time to show oneself, the time of fulfillment.

The difference between greed and goals is what you are prepared to handle...

Confidence sometimes requires purposeful preparation and practice.

Money is not the priority. A step to dream big and planning of your dreams is a premier action that will see you through a start of your journey to success.

Traveling can never be taken for granted, no matter how meticulous the preparations.

Preparing for your journey in the most thorough way possible will not diminish your experiences abroad. It will enhance them.

For most of her life she just expected things would work out, that people would be kind. Now she recognized her good fortune for what it was. She'd been lucky in so much, it had left her woefully unprepared for old age.

when you do great things, think as if you missed the mark by an inch; walk as if you are yet to face the greatest task; talk as if you are yet to have the best preparation for the momentous moment and dream as if you are fighting a battalion of tasks

First organizing it on paper isn't just academic, it's an applied prerequisite for manifestation.

People who have fully prepared always save time. Albert Einstein was right to teach that if he is given six hours to chop down a tree, he would spend the first four sharpening the axes. When you are done with your action plans, work will be easier!
