be yours.

MESSAGE #811 - HOW TO BE THE NEXT STIRLING MOSS

“I was taught

that everything

is attainable

if you are

prepared

to give up,

to sacrifice,

to get it.

Whatever

you want to do,

you can do it

if you want it

badly enough,

and I do believe that.

I believe that

if I wanted

to run a mile

in four minutes

I could do it.

I would have

to give up

everything else

in my life,

but I could

run a mile

in four minutes.

I believe that

if a man

wanted to

walk on water

and was prepared

to give up

everything else

in life,

he could do that.”

Sir Stirling Moss OBE

racing driver

MESSAGE #810 - HOW TO BE THE NEXT DONALD TRUMP

“Experience taught me
a few things.
One is to
listen to your gut,
no matter how good
something sounds on paper.
The second is that
you’re generally
better off sticking with
what you know.
And the third
is that sometimes
your best investments
are the ones
you don’t make.”

Donald Trump
business executive

MESSAGE #809 - HOW TO BE THE NEXT OPRAH

“What I know

for sure

is that

if you want

success,

you can’t make

success

your goal.

The key is

not to worry

about being

successful;

but to instead

work toward being

significant –

and

the success

will naturally

follow.”

Oprah Winfrey

television personality

MESSAGE #808 - HOW TO BE THE NEXT STEPHEN KING

Mostly when I think
of pacing,
I go back to
Elmore Leonard,
who explained it
so perfectly
by saying
he just left out
the boring parts.
This suggests cutting
to speed the pace,
and that’s
what most of us
end up having to do
(kill your darlings,
kill your darlings,
even when it breaks
your egocentric
little scribbler’s heart,
kill your darlings) . . .
I got a scribbled comment
that changed
the way I wrote
my fiction
once and forever.
Jotted below
the machine-generated
signature of the editor
was this mot:
“Not bad, but PUFFY.
You need to revise
for length.
Formula:
2nd draft = 1st draft – 10%.”

Stephen King
writer

MESSAGE #807 - HOW TO BE THE NEXT DAVID COPPERFIELD

I learned that

there were

two ways

I could live

my life:

following my dreams

or

doing something else.

Dreams aren’t

a matter of chance,

but

a matter of choice.

When I dream,

I believe

I am rehearsing

my future.

David Copperfield

magician
