I would add another quote, supposedly by Gandhi:
At first they ignore you,
Then they laugh at you,
Then they fight you,
Then you win.

Cheers!

Whew! I thought nothing can lift my exhausting and sulking mood, thanks to this my spirit is uplifted! This quote is my favorite: “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.” by Sir Thomas Edison. I didn’t think it took him numerous failures before he succeeded. His optimism is giving him to my faltering spirit!

OMG, the first one, the Brian Tracy quote is awesome. I LOVE Brian Tracy so so so so so much. I’m actually in the process of putting that exact quote on my door room wall right now, so that’s really funny, hahahaha.

That’s a great idea! Putting a poster on your room door or wall really helps lift your spirit up whenever you or somebody walks into your room.

Speaking of posters, I found a couple of great inspirational and motivational posters here. Hmm, I think I might order some of these. :)
