This quote really stuck with me, because it's a great reminder for my writing career. I've been spending way too much time just dreaming of stories or imagining a future where I've become a published authors, and not enough time doing the everyday actionable work of writing. My books will remain dreams unless I take action and write them.NeonKay wrote: ↑06 Feb 2018, 18:29'If you ponder but don't take action, your dreams remain dreams.Take action and your dreams can take flight'
I got quite excited when I read this line from the book And Then I Met Margaret. This is kinda important to me. It reminds me of someone who happens to say the same idea long ago in my college days. I very loved this line because it suggests striking importance in dealing our greatest aspirations in life.

This was my favorite quote as well. Its a simple statement as you said but it is so powerful in how we look at ourselves and how we can improve as human beings.Scrawling Pen wrote: ↑11 Jan 2018, 20:01 My favorite quote was "We all possess the power of compassion..." Although it is incredibly simple, I absolutely believe it. No matter who you are--rich, poor, successful, struggling, etc.--you have the ability to show compassion. If everyone just showed a bit of compassion, we might truly change the world.

I love this quote! It emphasizes the need for high expectations for oneself and that hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.Raksha Rakhecha wrote: ↑10 Jan 2018, 07:56 We came across many quotes in the book. My favourite quote is, "when you settle for nothing less than excellence, you become part of a rare species that's in huge demand."
Did you find that one quote which is impactful? What is that

It is so true that we often forget that real happiness does not lie within money or possessions, but rather in that which money cannot buy.

It pretty much describes the human psychology during a dilemma. We focus so much on the down side, we sometimes fail to spot the opportunities ahead.If a black cat prowls around in your mind, it will stop you from seeing the golden opportunities right in front of you.
