Quotations motivate you to or not?

How seriously do you take Quotations AND do you implement it or take it as a fun???
After reading this Quotation my fear end
"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure"

 

I went through a phase in school when I would write down and clip any quotation that I thought was inspiring or motivational or wise, etc. I think binging on inspirational quotations has kind of numbed my perception of them from that point on. Now I feel like a cynic, because "inspirational quotes" will always be something that is associated with school and being a teenager for me.

That said, my favourite quote ever is Jimi Hendrix's "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

 

yeah........it definetly motivates me in every situation.

 

I do but there is some limitation for me.

Quotations are of many types & they help in different scenarios / situations
For Ex:
“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.” Dale Carnegie
This would help people to get motivated , especially when they meet up with failure in something

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." - Mark Twain (1835-1910)
this is self-explanatory that insist people to read book , this is neither motivating nor appreciating , it is informative

“The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus.” Bruce Lee
This says , how focused a man has to be in-order to succeed. This is informative

So it entirely depends on how to take the quotations , you can either understand & implement it or accept & feel it.

 

"He who receives motivation from quotes is a follower who lacks creativity".-Spoiltdiva

 

"Don't believe every quotation you see on DP. It may not be real." - George Washington.

 

Was George Washington alive when DP was created? I think someone is playing games.

 

Love it!

Talking about school, I had a journal packed with quotations for every week, and I considered them as some instructions or even predictions on what I should do or what can happen that particular week. It helps when one lacks some self-organization skills, as it seems now

 

OOooooh, man I also had a notebook like that! It was basically just something my parents got me to write my homework in, so I don't forget, but I would also use the "inspirational quotes" as some sort of horoscope for the day/week/month. Good times... good times.

 

Reading good quotations surely helps in the way we think. It is not necessary to read them on a daily basis but just when you are feeling low, reading some of them really helps.

 

Yes, a lot! In fact, I have a diary full of inspiring quotations for every situation and each time I feel low for any reason I just open up my journal and go through it and it refreshes my mind almost instantly!
