Ralph Marston Quotes

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

Give yourself another chance to make your dream a reality. Don't allow a delay to become a denial. Raise the bar on yourself, increase your determination, and explode your drive.

I learned to focus and work hard and not give up. I learned that every obstacle is really an opportunity.

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people's criticisms, carry out your plan.

Aim higher. Stay focused.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
