  2. "You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction."

    I Selected this quote because it is very true to me. How can you ever accomplish anything if you don't have the determination to do it? You will never be satisfied because you will never finish what you start. To me this quote is all about doing things to benefit yourself and getting gratification from the things you set out to do because you've finished them. I can use this quote and apply it to my everyday life because if I am determined to do what has to be done in order to get where I need to be, I'll always go to bed satisfied. =D

  7. Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich

    I selected this quote because if you wanna do something you should do it no problem. I think that all successful people use perseverance when they want to strive to get through something. I can use this when I feel like I want to quit. Many people dont really know the definition of perserverance. I think that all people who think or want to be successful could use this quote if they feel like they want to give up.
