Stop playing Candy Crush for starters!

Albert Einstein:
I don’t feel like it’s necessary to introduce this man to you, but let me say that apart from great scientific achievements, Mr Relativity had a keen grasp of life and how to squeeze the best bits out of it. And he was terrible at maths!
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Thomas Edison:
Your’e thinking light bulb, but this man was a prolific inventor holding 1093 US patents. Think: inventions that changed mining, motion pictures and even medical science. We can trust Edison to inspire us; he understood hard work and success and he knew failure.

Walt Disney:
Animator, voice artist, and businessman of the top order, Walt Disney has every right to be on our list. He was a creative genius that amassed great wealth as well as a sterling reputation. He succeeded and he failed. Could you imagine a world without Mickey Mouse?!
All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Mother Teresa:
This lady is known world wide for her incredible acts of service as a Catholic sister and missionary. Not everyone agreed with the way she chose to do things, but that doesn’t subtract from the change she brought in people’s lives with selfless hard work and dedication. We can learn from an attitude such as this.
Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.
Now it’s time to take that motivation and do something great with it. If it’s just enough to get you through your day, that’s great, but keep moving forward, stay on course, and stay strong. Remember, you can do more than you think you can, just don’t quit, success might be around the next corner.
