I got this inspiration yesterday to do little illustration on some of my quotes. Most of the quotes were written from my experience in life. I shared them to inspire you that you can make it irrespective of obstacles.

Below are some of my quotes with brief illustration on them:

“The fear of failure is the beginning of failure so discourage your discouragements to succeed in life.”
The fear of failure is when you’re frightened or worried because you didn’t succeed in something you do. You’ll continue to be a failure when you stopped your stride to succeed in life because you’ve once failed. You can only discourage everything that make you feel that you can’t succeed by making strides to succeed in life.

“Don’t embrace obstacles, but rather ride on a wave of obstacles. This can only be achieved through focus and a great determination to succeed.”
Don’t accept that you can’t move forward anymore because of any constraint i.e financial, materials etc. The obstacles should be an advantage for you to do research on how to avoid such obstacles in future. You must have great determination to succeed in order to overcome obstacles.

“Nobody can ridicule you except if you underrated yourself. Self-confidence is a medium to display your ability.”
It’s important to know that people can only ridicule you when you present yourself as a nonentity. People will respect you when you show no doubt about your mental power or skills.

“Don’t stay in a position that people will look down on you. Take challenges in your stride so people will look up to you.”
Don’t stay in a position that people will see you as less important. Deal with your problems in order not to allow it to influence what you’re doing so that people can admire and respect you.

“Your exposure and the calibre of people you move among can influence your reasoning. Make sure you have atleast 60% of resourceful people around you. Always remember that people only respect someone who has something to offer them.”
Make sure you have friends that can influence your life positively. It’s better if you have few friends that can add something meaningful to your life than many useless friends.

“Don’t be carried away by people praises. Some people only praise you to get your help. Self-assessment is the best way to identify true compliments.”
Always assess yourself to know if you deserved the praises. Don’t call yourself what you’re not just because you want people to respect you. Be truthful with what you know and people will respect you for it.
