Earl Nightingale Quotes

Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.

Everything that’s really worthwhile in life comes to us.

Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

One hour per day of study in your chosen field is all it takes. One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years you’ll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do.

Picture yourself in your minds eye as having already achieved this goal. See yourself doing the things you’ll be doing when you’ve reached your goal.

We tend to live up to our expectations.

Executive ability is deciding quickly and getting somebody else to do the work.

We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.

Creativity is a natural extension of our enthusiasm.

Everything in the world we want to do or get done, we must do with and through people.

We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.

Watch what everyone else does–do the opposite. The majority is always wrong.
