 Follow me on Twitter for more quotes I don’t care if the whole world is against you or teasing you or saying you’re not gonna make it. Believe in yourself. No matter what. They laughed at the Wright brothers. They laughed at Thomas Edison. They laughed at Disney. Study the greats and become greater.  I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.  I’m not good at future planning. I don’t plan at all. I don’t know what I’m doing tomorrow. I don’t have a day planner and I don’t have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.  So I’m going out there. And I’m going to do the best I can. People are going to get in my way. Things are going to bring me down. But I’m going to keep going. I’m going to reach as far as I can, for every thing I’ve ever wanted. And I’m not giving up. Because that’s what you do when your dreams are more important than your fears. You go out there and ignore the odds. You focus on one thing- that your dreams come true.  No matter what your heartache may be, laughing helps you forget it for a few seconds.  In the end, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and those you love and work hard. Work like there’s no tomorrow. Train. Strive. Really train and cultivate your talent to the highest degree. Be the best at what you do. Get to know more about your field than anybody alive. Use the tools of your trade, if it’s books or a floor to dance on or a body of water to swim in. Whatever it is, it’s yours. That’s what I’ve always tried to remember.  My hopes are not always realized, but I always hope.  Start living now. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes. Every day you are alive is a special occasion. Every minute, every breath, is a gift.  Boys frustrate me. I hate all their indirect messages, I hate game playing. Do you like me or don’t you? Just tell me so I can get over you.  You never come back, not all the way. Always there is an odd distance between you and the people you love and the people you meet, a barrier thin as the glass of a mirror, you never come all the way out of the mirror; you stand, for the rest of your life, with one foot in this world and no one in another, where everything is upside down and backward and sad.  Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so.  Anything is possible if you’ve got enough nerve.  Among my most prized possessions are words that I have never spoken.  The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re alive.  Don’t feed your mind with negative thoughts. If you do, you will come to believe them.  Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an intresting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily.  When two people love each other, they don’t look at each other, they look in the same direction.  The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.
