The right people will come to you

Don’t chase people; be you, do your own thing and work hard.
The right people who belong in your life will come to you. And stay.

Believe the one reason why it will work

Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will.

To be an overnight success

Concentrate!

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand.
The sun’s rays do not burn until brought to focus.
- Alexander Graham Bell

You’ve got to save yourself

I believe that we are who we choose to be.
Nobody is going to come and save you.
You’ve got to save yourself.
Nobody is going to give you anything.
You got to go out and fight for it.
Nobody knows what you want except you,
and nobody will be as sorry as you if you don’t get it.
So don’t give up on your dreams.

Rely on yourself for approval

No one but you knows how hard you work, how many hours you put in behind the scenes, so rely on yourself for approval, not the outside world.

The amount of effort you put in

In the end, you get what you deserve.
The amount of effort you put in determines the amount of joy that you receive.

Do your own thing

Do not chase people.
Be you and do your own thing and work hard.
The right people who belong in your life will come to you, and stay
 - Wu Tang

While working for what you want

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want.
So much has been given to me, I have no time to ponder over which has been denied.

Heart and my soul

I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.
- Vincent Van Gogh
