Roberto's Commemorative

“It’s not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it.” 

 

“Difficulty is what wakes up the genius.” 

 

“People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.” 

 

“When we observe magnificent players in business, sport, science and the arts we are observing the earned results of a monomaniacal concentration around a single pursuit, astronomical focus on one skill, intensity of sacrifice applied to one aim, unusual levels of deep preparation and extreme amounts of solid patience. Remember, every professional was once an amateur, and every master started as a beginner.”

 

“A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.” 

 

“Discomfort is the currency of success.” 

 

“Nothing works for those who don’t do the work”

 

“Progress is not achieved by luck or accident, but by working on yourself daily.” 

 

“Make the mind tougher by exposing it to adversity.” 

 

“Done Is Better Than Perfect”

 

“Success is based off of your willingness to work your ass off no matter what obstacles are in your way.” 

 

“Give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions and determine to pay the price of a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths.” 

 

“It’s okay to be discouraged. It’s not okay to quit. To know you want to quit but to plant your feet and keep inching closer until you take the impenetrable fortress you’ve decided to lay siege to in your own life—that’s persistence.”

 

“If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.” 

 

“You become what you give your attention to…If you yourself don’t choose what thoughts and images you expose yourself to, someone else will.” 

 

“Now is the time to get serious about living your ideals. How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait any longer. Put your principles into practice – now. Stop the excuses and the procrastination. This is your life! […] Decide to be extraordinary and do what you need to do – now.” 

 

And remember: no one, absolutely no one, in this industry is going to judge your work by the time it took you to do it. Only the results are judged.

 

“Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish.” 

 

“It never ceases to amaze me: we all love ourselves more than other people, but care more about their opinion than our own.” 

 

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” 

 

“The obstacle in the path becomes the path. Never forget, within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.” 

 

“Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.” 

 

“Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.” 

 

“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”  

 

“You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” 

 

Lost Ark, NOW! Vamo a darle

 

“It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It’s because we dare not venture that they are difficult.” 

 

“Own your morning. Elevate your life”

 

“Epictetus, one of my favorite philosophers, wrote: “But neither a bull nor a noble-spirited man comes to be what he is all at once; he must undertake hard winter training and prepare himself and not propel himself rashly into what is not appropriate to him.”

 

“the soreness of growth is so much less expensive than the devastating costs of regret”

 

“The tragedy of life is not death but what we let die inside of us while we live”

 

“Pressure is a privilege,’ said tennis legend Billie Jean King,” 

 

“You get to grow. And ascending as a person is one of the smartest ways to spend the rest of your life”

 

“gargantuan results are much less about your inherited genetics and far more about your daily habits. And your morning ritual is by far the most essential one to calibrate. And then automate.”

 

“Even when something bad happens to you, you have to go straight back to that or you get frightened. And if you’re frightened you’ll be hopeless at the exercise. You mustn’t give up. Geralt said so.”

 

“When we observe magnificent players in business, sport, science and the arts we are observing the earned results of a monomaniacal concentration around a single pursuit, astronomical focus on one skill, intensity of sacrifice applied to one aim, unusual levels of deep preparation and extreme amounts of solid patience”

 

“If you are pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs you, but your own judgment about it. And it is in your power to wipe out this judgment now.” 

 

“Don’t promise twice what you can do at once.”
