All of the following quotes are from Maya Angelou:
“Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.”
“Courage allows the successful woman to fail- and learn powerful lessons- from the failure- so that in the end, she didn’t fail at all. “
“Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. All the other tangible rewards will come as a result. “

“Each of us has the right and the responsibility to assess the road which lie ahead and those over which we have traveled, and if the feature road looms ominous or unpromising, and the road back uninviting-inviting, then we need to gather our resolve and carrying only the necessary baggage, step off that road into another direction. If the new choice is also unpalatable, without embarrassment, we must be ready to change that one as well. “
“Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise. “
“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
“It is this belief in a power larger than myself and other than myself which allows me to venture into the unknown and even the unknowable. “
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you. “
