Book Quotes

“A dream worth pursuing is a picture and blueprint of a person's purpose and potential”

― John C. Maxwell

“THE RIGHT AND WRONG PICTURE OF A DREAM I’ve studied successful people for almost forty years. I’ve known hundreds of high-profile people who achieved big dreams. And I’ve achieved a few dreams of my own. What I’ve discovered is that a lot of people have misconceptions about dreams. Take a look at many of the things that people pursue and call dreams in their lives: Daydreams—Distractions from Current Work Pie-in-the-Sky Dreams—Wild Ideas with No Strategy or Basis in Reality Bad Dreams—Worries that Breed Fear and Paralysis Idealistic Dreams—The Way the World Would Be If You Were in Charge Vicarious Dreams—Dreams Lived Through Others Romantic Dreams—Belief that Some Person Will Make You Happy Career Dreams—Belief that Career Success Will Make You Happy Destination Dreams—Belief that a Position, Title, or Award Will Make You Happy Material Dreams—Belief that Wealth or Possessions Will Make You Happy If these aren’t good dreams—valid ones worthy of a person’s life—then what are? Here is my definition of a dream that can be put to the test and pass: a dream is an inspiring picture of the future that energizes your mind, will, and emotions, empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it.”

“El poeta William Arthur Ward sugiere que la clave para el éxito es: Creer cuando otros dudan. Planificar mientras que los demás juegan. Estudiar cuando los demás duermen. Decidir cuando los demás postergan. Prepararse cuando los demás sueñan despiertos. Empezar cuando los demás lo dejan para otro día. Trabajar cuando los demás desean. Ahorrar cuando los demás desperdician. Escuchar cuando los demás hablan. Sonreír cuando los demás fruncen el ceño. Elogiar cuando los demás critican. Persistir cuando los demás se dan por vencidos.”

“Believe while others are doubting. Plan while others are playing. Study while others are sleeping. Decide while others are delaying. Prepare while others are daydreaming. Begin while others are procrastinating. Work while others are wishing. Save while others are wasting. Listen while others are talking. Smile while others are frowning. Commend while others are criticizing. Persist while others are quitting.”

― John C. Maxwell

“Never forget that the greatest reward of pursuing a dream is who you become as a result.”

― John C. Maxwell

“Si has perdido las esperanzas, has perdido de vista tu sueño, o nunca te conectaste con algo que piensas que vale la pena soñar y trabajar por lograr,”

― John C. Maxwell

“El hombre más paupérrimo no es el que no tiene ni un céntimo a su nombre. Es el que carece de un sueño... [Es como] una gran nave construida para el poderoso mar pero que intenta navegar en un charco. Carece de un puerto lejano que alcanzar, de un horizonte que se perfile, de un cargamento preciado que llevar. Sus horas son absorbidas por tiranías rutinarias e insignificantes. En nada sorprende que el tal se torne insatisfecho, contencioso y esté «harto». Una de las tragedias más grandes de la vida es la persona con una capacidad de diez por doce, pero con un alma de dos por cuatro.”

― John C. Maxwell
