We’ve all been there. We’re out of ideas and nothing new is coming to our tired and weary minds. When these moments strike, I’ve always been a fan of reading quotes to get me out of that funk, whether it’s writing a term paper or coming up with new business ventures.

You could type, “Awesome business quotes” into Google.com and waste a couple hours or if you need just a quick read, then I’ve got you covered. I’ve found several quotes from the people who actually know what they’re talking about. I hope you find one that makes you stop and think.

Direct from the titans of industry,

“As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think big.” – Donald Trump

“I think a smart woman can sell the average man anything, ” – Leo Burnett

“I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.” Warren Buffet

“There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all risks and rational argument, we believe that the path we are choosing is the right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead.” – Howard Schultz (CEO of Starbucks)

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers… The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs

“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” – Bill Gates

Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I’ll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I’ll give you a stock clerk. – J.C. Penney

These men have summed up exactly what is important when thinking of new ideas. Don’t think small, think as big as you can and don’t focus on whether it’ll be a success or a failure right away – that’ll come later. Ultimately, you have to trust yourself and your instincts. The critics out there will always find something to complain about, so there’s no reason to worry about them.

As long as you have an imagination and the will to work hard, you’ll be great! Take a deep breathe, go for a walk, just get out of the current mindset you’re in and watch as things fall into place.

“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” Maya Angelou

“It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”- Thomas Alva Edison

I think defining the word, “success” is one of those words that is impossible to do so. For some people, it’s having a Scrooge McDuck vault of gold coins at their disposable. For others, having money to go out to dinner twice a week is considered a success. Either way, as long as you’re happy with yourself, what you do, and how you did it, you’re a success!

You can’t beat the old standby, “try, try, try again” to get you through those tough times. But it’s so true! Even though your idea didn’t work the first time, that doesn’t mean you’re a failure. It’s really easy to get swept up in that mindset, but resist the urge and try something new the next time.

Don’t forget,

Don’t let those disastrous thoughts of not being good enough or failing at everything you try stop you. You may be right on the path towards greatness and each failed attempt is leading you closer to the successful ending you’ve been searching for.

Just keep plugging away and when you get stuck, consult these quotes and think about the person who originally said them. If they stopped at every bump in the road, they probably wouldn’t have ended up where they did. Now, go get ‘em tiger!

我們都在那里。我們的思想，并沒有什么新東西進(jìn)入我們疲憊的心靈。當(dāng)這些時刻來臨時，我一直喜歡閱讀語錄，把我?guī)С鼍趩剩瑹o論是寫學(xué)期論文或準(zhǔn)備新的商業(yè)計劃。

    你可以寫“最好的商業(yè)語錄“進(jìn)入Google.com，花上幾個小時，或只是一個快速閱讀，這樣你我就會有同感。我找到了一些人們正在談?wù)摰恼Z錄。我希望你也能找到一個，停下來思考一下。

    產(chǎn)業(yè)界巨頭的語錄

    “人有多大膽，地有多大產(chǎn)?！薄萍{德·特朗普

    “我認(rèn)為一個聰明的女人可以把一個普通男人賣了 ”——李奧貝納

    “我將告訴你們?nèi)绾巫兊酶挥?。把門關(guān)上。在別人恐懼的時候貪婪。在別人貪婪的時候恐懼?！鞍头铺?

    “在我們的生活中會有這樣的時刻：我們鼓起勇氣做出選擇，違背理性和常識以及我們信任的人對我們的的忠告。但我們?nèi)匀挥兴鶅A向，盡管有著所有風(fēng)險和理性的論證，我們還是相信我們的選擇是正確的和最好的。我們拒絕做旁觀者，即使我們并不知道我們的行為會導(dǎo)致的后果?！?霍華德·舒爾茨(星巴克的CEO)

    “在這里對那些瘋子、不合時宜的人、叛逆者、惹是生非的家伙等等看到的東西不同，他們不喜歡規(guī)則。你可以利用他們、反對他們、贊美或詆毀他們，但你唯一不能做的就是忽視他們，因?yàn)樗麄兏淖兞耸挛?。他們推動人類向前發(fā)展，可能有人認(rèn)為他們是瘋子，我們看到的則是天才，因?yàn)橹挥心切┋偪竦揭詾樽约耗軌蚋淖兪澜绲娜?，才能做得出來?！笔返俜颉滩妓?

    "成功是個差勁的老師。它誘使聰明人認(rèn)為他們不會輸?！北葼?蓋茨

    給我一個有目標(biāo)的存貨管理員，我會給你一個創(chuàng)造歷史的人。給我一個沒有目標(biāo)的人，我會給你一個存貨管理員。–彭尼

    當(dāng)產(chǎn)生一個新的主意時，這些人總結(jié)出到底什么是重要的。不要認(rèn)為微不足道，認(rèn)為你可以做的更好，對它是否馬上成功或失敗掉以輕心——以為以后還有機(jī)會。最終，你必須相信你自己和你的直覺。批評家們總是會找到一些抱怨的事情，所以沒有理由擔(dān)心它們。

    只要你有想象力和將努力工作，你會很棒！試著深呼吸，出去散散步，就能擺脫當(dāng)前的心態(tài)，你再看東西就會井井有條。

    其他一些語錄用于另一個窮困時期

    “成功是你自己喜歡 ，你喜歡做什么，你喜歡怎么做。”瑪雅·安吉羅

    “常識是用一種方法試一試。如果失敗，再試試別的。但最重要的是，嘗試這個東西?！薄惶m克林·羅斯福

    “生活中許多失敗的人，沒有意識到他們接近成功時，他們放棄了?！薄旭R斯·阿爾瓦·愛迪生

    我想確定這個詞，“成功”是其中之一，但那很難。對一些人來說，擁有一個史考治·麥克唐納拱頂金幣可供支配。對于其他人來說，有錢到外面去吃頓飯，每周兩次，被認(rèn)為是成功的。無論哪種方式，只要你與自己的快樂相處，你做什么，你怎么做，你都是一個成功者!

    你不能打敗老規(guī)矩，“嘗試，嘗試，再嘗試”，來幫你度過那些艱難的日子。但事實(shí)就是這樣！即使你的想法第一次沒有成功，也并不意味著你是個失敗者。它真的很容易陷入那種心態(tài)，要抵制沖動和在下一次嘗試新的東西。

    不要忘記

    不要讓消極的思想影響你，或讓失敗阻止你。你可能在通向成功之路是正確的，每失敗一次就接近成功一次，這是你的宿命。

    埋頭苦干吧，當(dāng)你遇到困難的時候，看看這些名言，想想他們說的話。如果他們在顛簸的路上停了下來，他們就不可能成功。現(xiàn)在，去吧，象猛虎一樣!
