6 Quotes that will make you a better version of yourself for sure.

1. The time is always right to do what is right.

                                                                   - Martin Luther King Jr

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man.As I searched the internet I found countless inspirational quotes by him but, for some reason, the simplicity of this quote stuck out for me. Maybe because it seems to be a call to action to do what is right, right now.

  2. Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.
                                                                                                                   - Theodore Roosevelt
    Showing interest in others is not about probing needlessly and taking a rapid-fire approach with questions. It is about being yourself, and being genuine and sincere in your interest in another person. It is about being genuinely inquisitive and attentive to someone else. It is about seeking versus making the focus on you.

3. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

              - Winston Churchill

  So is it possible or practical for achievement-oriented, hard-working, successful people to give back… sufficiently and meaningfully? How about by helping build strong communities… or maybe helping kids be all they can be… or even supporting people to move from poverty to prosperity?

4. We cannot teach people anything, we can only help them discover it within themselves.
                               
                                            -Galileo Galilei

      It is up to the learner to figure it out. It will only make sense when you have come to the conclusion by yourself. When you remember what Galileo was up against when he was trying to teach the Church about astronomy, and what revolves around what, the quote becomes crystal clear, doesn’t it?

5. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
                   
                                                                              - Mark Twain

      Time is much more important than anything. A wise man knows when to speak. It is better to save the energy by closing the mouth rather than wasting it on arguments.

6. Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

      - John Wooden
 
    As we all know practice makes perfect, so don’t just give up on something the first time you do it just because you’re not the best. Keep practicing and you will figure out how to do it, and to do it with ease. Something this helps me out with is say you make a bad grade in school and one of your classmates says your dumb or something negative. Just use that to make you try harder to show them you can make good grades.
