不知道自己缺点的人，一辈子都不会想要改善。成功的花，人们只惊慕她现时的明艳！然而当初她的芽儿，浸透了奋斗的泪泉，洒遍了牺牲的血雨。成功的条件在于勇气和 信乃是由健全的思想和健康的体魄而来。成功了自己笑一辈子，不成功被人笑一辈子。成功只有一个理由，失败却有一千种理由。从胜利学得少，从失败学得多。你生而有 前进，形如蝼蚁。你一天的爱心可能带来别人一生的感谢。逆风的方向，更适合飞翔。只有承担起旅途风雨，才能最终守得住彩虹满天只有创造，才是真正的享受，只有拚 活。知识玩转财富。志不立，天下无可成之事。竹笋虽然柔嫩，但它不怕重压，敢于奋斗、敢于冒尖。阻止你前行的，不是人生道路上的一百块石头，而是你鞋子里的那一 爱，不必呼天抢地，只是相顾无言。最值得欣赏的风景，是自己奋斗的足迹。爱的力量大到可以使人忘记一切，却又小到连一粒嫉妒的沙石也不能容纳。生活不可能像你想 不会像你想的那么糟。时间告诉你什么叫衰老，回忆告诉你什么叫幼稚。不要总在过去的回忆里缠绵，昨天的太阳，晒不干今天的衣裳。实现梦想往往是一个艰苦的坚持的 到位，立竿见影。那些成就卓越的人，几乎都在追求梦想的过程中表现出一种顽强的毅力。世界上唯一不变的字就是“变”字。事实胜于雄辩，百闻不如一见。思路决定出路 细节决定成败，性格决定命运虽然你的思维相对于宇宙智慧来说只不过是汪洋中的一滴水，但这滴水却凝聚着海洋的全部财富；是质量上的一而非数量上的一；你的思维拥 所有过不去的都会过去，要对时间有耐心。人总会遇到挫折，总会有低潮，会有不被人理解的时候。如果你希望成功，以恒心为良友，以经验为参谋，以小心为兄弟，以希 个人不知道他要驶向哪个码头，那么任何风都不会是顺风。沙漠里的脚印很快就消逝了。一支支奋进歌却在跋涉者的心中长久激荡。上天完全是为了坚强你的意志，才在道 碍。拥有资源不能成功，善用资源才能成功。小成功靠自己，大成功靠团队。炫耀什么，缺少什么；掩饰什么，自卑什么。所谓正常人，只是自我防御比较好的人。真正的 防而又不受害。学习必须如蜜蜂一样，采过许多花，这才能酿出蜜来态度决定高度。外在压力增加时，就应增强内在的动力。我不是富二代，不能拼爹，但为了成功，我可 站在万人中央成为别人的光。人一辈子不长不短，走着走着，就进了坟墓，你是要轰轰烈烈地风光下葬，还是一把骨灰撒向河流山川。严于自律：不能成为自己本身之主人 他周围任何事物的主人。自律是完全拥有自己的内心并将其导向他所希望的目标的惟一正确的途径。生活对于智者永远是一首昂扬的歌，它的主旋律永远是奋斗。眼泪的存 伤不是一场幻觉。要不断提高自身的能力，才能益己及他。有能力办实事才不会毕竟空谈何益。故事的结束总是满载而归，就是金榜题名。一个人失败的最大原因，是对自 的信心，甚至以为自己必将失败无疑。一个人炫耀什么，说明内心缺少什么。一个人只有在全力以赴的时候才能发挥最大的潜能。我们的能力是有限的，有很多东西飘然于 之外。过去再优美，我们不能住进去；现在再艰险，我们也要走过去！即使行动导致错误，却也带来了学习与成长；不行动则是停滞与萎缩。你的所有不甘和怨气来源于你 你可以平凡，但不能平庸。懦弱的人只会裹足不前，莽撞的人只能引为烧身，只有真正勇敢的人才能所向披靡。平凡的脚步也可以走完伟大的行程。平静的湖面锻炼不出精 生活打造不出生活的强者。人的生命似洪水在奔流，不遇着岛屿、暗礁，难以激起美丽的浪花人生不怕重来，就怕没有将来。人生的成败往往就在于一念之差。人生就像一 为你在看别人耍猴的时候，却不知自己也是猴子中的一员！人生如天气，可预料，但往往出乎意料。人生最大的改变就是去做自己害怕的事情。如果不想被打倒，只有增加 你向神求助，说明你相信神的能力；如果神没有帮助你，说明神相信你的能力。善待自己，不被别人左右，也不去左右别人，自信优雅。活是欺骗不了的，一个人要生活得 象这杯浓酒,不经三番五次的提炼呵,就不会这样一来可口！生命不止需要长度，更需要宽度。时间就像一张网，你撒在哪里，你的收获就在哪里。世上最累人的事，莫过于 你感到痛苦时，就去学习点什么吧，学习可以使我们减缓痛苦。当世界都在说放弃的时候，轻轻的告诉自己：再试一次。过错是暂时的遗憾，而错过则是永远的遗憾！很多 结果，但是不努力却什么改变也没有。后悔是一种耗费精神的情绪后悔是比损失更大的损失，比错误更大的错误所以不要后悔。环境不会改变，解决之道在于改变自己。积 成功者的最基本要素。激情，这是鼓满船帆的风。风有时会把船帆吹断；但没有风，帆船就不能航行。即使道路坎坷不平，车轮也要前进；即使江河波涛汹涌，船只也航行 粹取出来的。浪费时间等于浪费生命。老要靠别人的鼓励才去奋斗的人不算强者；有别人的鼓励还不去奋斗的人简直就是懦夫。不要问别人为你做了什么，而要问你为别人 遥远的梦想和最朴素的生活，即使明天天寒地冻，金钱没有高贵，低贱之分。金钱在高尚人的手中，就会变得高尚；金钱在庸俗人手中，就会变得低级庸俗。涓涓细流一旦 大海也就终止了呼吸。漫无目的的生活就像出海航行而没有指南针。如果我没有，我就一定要，我一定要，就一定能。上一秒已成过去，曾经的辉煌，仅仅是是曾经。其实 在昨天，而是失败在没有很好利用今天。千万人的失败，都有是失败在做事不彻底，往往做到离成功只差一步就终止不做了。强者征服今天，懦夫哀叹昨天，懒汉坐等明天 只是不来的人，要来，千军万马也是挡不住的。求人不如求己；贫穷志不移；吃得苦中苦；方为人上人；失意不灰心；得意莫忘形。人们总是在努力珍惜未得到的，而遗忘 告诉我，无理取闹的年龄过了，该懂事了。时间是个常数，但也是个变数。勤奋的人无穷多，懒惰的人无穷少。手莫伸,伸手必被捉。党与人民在监督,万目睽睽难逃脱。汝 不伸能自觉,其实想伸不敢伸,人民咫尺手自缩。思考是一件最辛苦的工作，这可能是为什么很少人愿意思考的原因。我们不能成为贵族的后代，但我们可以成为贵族的祖先 年后的自己。自信！开朗！豁达！无论现在的你处于什么状态，是时候对自己说：不为模糊不清的未来担忧，只为清清楚楚的现在努力。无人理睬时，坚定执着。万人羡慕 志者常立志，有志者立常志，咬定一个目标的人最容易成功。心随境转是凡夫，境随心转是圣贤。学会以最简单的方式生活，不要让复杂的思想破坏生活的甜美。要无条件 的时候。一个人能走多远，要看他有谁同行；一个人有多优秀，要看他有谁指点；一个人有多成功，要看他有谁相伴。成功在优点的发挥，失败是缺点的累积。从绝望中寻 辉煌。当你跌到谷底时，那正表示，你只能往上，不能往下！当你决定坚持一件事情，全世界都会为你让路。贫穷本身并不可怕，可怕的是贫穷的思想，以及认为自己命中 了贫穷的思想，就会丢失进取心，也就永远走不出失败的阴影请享受无法回避的痛苦。人的一生就是体道，悟道，最后得道的过程。人生就是一万米长跑，如果有人非议你 一点，这样，那些声音就会在你的身后，你就再也��

1、只要有坚强的意志力，就自然而然地会有能耐、机灵和知识。2、你们应该培养对自己，对自己的力量的信心，百这种信心是靠克服障碍，培养意志和锻炼意志而获得的。 3、坚强的信念能赢得强者的心，并使他们变得更坚强。4、天行健，君子以自强不息。5、有百折不挠的信念的所支持的人的意志，比那些似乎是无敌的物质力量有更强大 的威力。6、永远没有人力可以击退一个坚决强毅的希望。7、意大利有一句谚语：对一个歌手的要求，首先是嗓子、嗓子和嗓子……我现在按照这一公式拙劣地摹仿为：对 一个要成为不负于高尔基所声称的那种“人”的要求，首先是意志、意志和意志。8、执着追求并从中得到最大快乐的人，才是成功者。9、三军可夺帅也，匹夫不可夺志也。 10、发现者，尤其是一个初出茅庐的年轻发现者，需要勇气才能无视他人的冷漠和怀疑，才能坚持自己发现的意志，并把研究继续下去。11、我的本质不是我的意志的结果， 相反，我的意志是我的本质的结果，因为我先有存在，后有意志，存在可以没有意志，但是没有存在就没有意志。12、公共的利益，人类的福利，可以使可憎的工作变为可 贵，只有开明人士才能知道克服困难所需要的热忱。13、立志用功如种树然，方其根芽，犹未有干；及其有干，尚未有枝；枝而后叶，叶而后花。14、意志的出现不是对愿 望的否定，而是把愿望合并和提升到一个更高的意识水平上。15、无论是美女的歌声，还是鬓狗的狂吠，无论是鳄鱼的眼泪，还是恶狼的嚎叫，都不会使我动摇。16、即使 遇到了不幸的灾难，已经开始了的事情决不放弃。17、最可怕的敌人，就是没有坚强的信念。18、既然我已经踏上这条道路，那么，任何东西都不应妨碍我沿着这条路走下 去。19、意志若是屈从，不论程度如何，它都帮助了暴力。20、有了坚定的意志，就等于给双脚添了一对翅膀。21、意志坚强，就会战胜恶运。22、只有刚强的人，才有神 圣的意志，凡是战斗的人，才能取得胜利。23、卓越的人的一大优点是：在不利和艰难的遭遇里百折不挠。24、疼痛的强度，同自然赋于人类的意志和刚度成正比。25、能 够岿然不动，坚持正见，度过难关的人是不多的。26、钢是在烈火和急剧冷却里锻炼出来的，所以才能坚硬和什么也不怕。我们的一代也是这样的在斗争中和可怕的考验中 锻炼出来的，学习了不在生活面前屈服。27、只要持续地努力，不懈地奋斗，就没有征服不了的东西。28、立志不坚，终不济事。29、功崇惟志，业广惟勤。30、一个崇高 的目标，只要不渝地追求，就会居为壮举；在它纯洁的目光里，一切美德必将胜利。31、书不记，熟读可记；义不精，细思可精；惟有志不立，直是无着力处。32、您得相 信，有志者事竟成。古人告诫说：“天国是努力进入的”。只有当勉为其难地一步步向它走去的时候，才必须勉为其难地一步步走下去，才必须勉为其难地去达到它。33、 告诉你使我达到目标的奥秘吧，我唯一的力量就是我的坚持精神。34、成大事不在于力量的大小，而在于能坚持多久。35、一个人所能做的就是做出好榜样，要有勇气在风 言风语的社会中坚定地高举伦理的信念。36、即使在把眼睛盯着大地的时候，那超群的目光仍然保持着凝视太阳的能力。37、你既然期望辉煌伟大的一生，那么就应该从今 天起，以毫不动摇的决心和坚定不移的信念，凭自己的智慧和毅力，去创造你和人类的快乐。38、一个有决心的人，将会找到他的道路。39、在希望与失望的决斗中，如果 你用勇气与坚决的双手紧握着，胜利必属于希望。40、富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移，威武不能屈。41、生活的道路一旦选定，就要勇敢地走到底，决不回头。42、生命里最重 要的事情是要有个远大的目标，并借助才能与坚持来完成它。43、事业常成于坚忍，毁于急躁。我在沙漠中曾亲眼看见，匆忙的旅人落在从容的后边；疾驰的骏马落在后头， 缓步的骆驼继续向前。44、有志者事竟成。45、穷且益坚，不坠青云之志。46、意志目标不在自然中存在，而在生命中蕴藏。47、坚持意志伟大的事业需要始终不渝的精神。 48、思想的形成，首先是意志的形成。49、谁有历经千辛万苦的意志，谁就能达到任何目的。50、不作什么决定的意志不是现实的意志；无性格的人从来不做出决定。我终 生的等待，换不来你刹那的凝眸。最美的不是下雨天，是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐。征服畏惧、建立自信的最快最确实的方法，就是去做你害怕的事，直到你获得成功的经验。 真正的爱，应该超越生命的长度、心灵的宽度、灵魂的深度。生活真象这杯浓酒，不经三番五次的提炼呵，就不会这样可口！人格的完善是本，财富的确立是末能力可以慢 慢锻炼，经验可以慢慢积累，热情不可以没有。不管什么东西，总是觉得，别人的比自己的好！只有经历过地狱般的折磨，才有征服天堂的力量。只有流过血的手指才能弹 出世间的绝唱。对时间的价值没有没有深切认识的人，决不会坚韧勤勉。第一个青春是上帝给的；第二个的青春是靠自己努力的。不要因为寂寞而恋爱，孤独是为了幸福而 等待。每天清晨，当我睁开眼睛，我告诉自己：我今天快乐或是不快乐，并非由我所遭遇的事情造成的，而应该取决于我自己。我可以自己选择事情的发展方向。昨日已逝，
