10.33am My favorite quotes: “Forgive others. Not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.” Goals: Prioritise yourself.
Hey guys! I made another quotes masterpost for more scientists! There were a lot I left out on the first masterpost so I compiled them all and put them here for your enjoyment! I hope you find them inspirational like I have.
Alan Turing
”We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.”
W. Edwards Deming
“I am forever learning and changing.”
“Whenever there is fear, you will get wrong figures.”
“It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.”
“All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride.”
“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.”
Orlando Aloysius Battista
“An error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.”
William Osler
“We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from life.”
“The best preparation for tomorrow is to do today’s work superbly well.”
“To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals - this alone is worth the struggle.”
“The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.”
“Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.”
James D. Watson
“Our goal should be to understand our differences.”
E. O. Wilson
“Change will come slowly, across generations, because old beliefs die hard even when demonstrably false.”
“There is no better high than discovery.”
“You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.”
Ashley Montagu
“The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.”
Hans Selye
“Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one.”
“If you want to live a long life, focus on making contributions.”
Margaret Mead
“I was wise enough to never grow up while fooling most people into believing I had.”
“What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things.”
“I learned the value of hard work by working hard.”
“Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.”
“Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.”
Isaac Asimov
“I don’t expect to live forever, but I do intend to hang on as long as possible.”
“The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.”
“Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.”
“And above all things, never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.”
“No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.”
“Humanity has the stars in its future, and that future is too important to be lost under the burden of juvenile folly and ignorant superstition.”
“Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.”
Paracelsus
“Dreams must be heeded and accepted. For a great many of them come true.”
“Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.”
Alexander Fleming
“One sometimes finds what one is not looking for.”
Benjamin Spock
“Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.”
“Trust yourself, you know more than you think you do.”
Alfred Nobel
“Contentment is the only real wealth.”
“If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied.”
Thomas Huxley
“Learn what is true in order to do what is right.”
“Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.”
“The most considerable difference I note among men is not in their readiness to fall into error, but in their readiness to acknowledge these inevitable lapses.”
“There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures early in life.”
“It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance.”
“The world is neither wise nor just, but it makes up for all its folly and injustice by being damnably sentimental.”
“Make up your mind to act decidedly and take the consequences. No good is ever done in this world by hesitation.”
“Surely there is a time to submit to guidance and a time to take one’s own way at all hazards.”
“The only freedom I care about is the freedom to do right; the freedom to do wrong I am ready to part with on the cheapest terms to anyone who will take it of me.”
“The known is finite, the unknown infinite; intellectually we stand on an islet in the midst of an illimitable ocean of inexplicability. Our business in every generation is to reclaim a little more land, to add something to the extent and the solidity of our possessions.”
It’s 2016. You need motivation? No, what you need is discipline. IT’S TIME TO FOCUS. Force yourself to do things. Force yourself to get up early, make your bed, go get ready, and go. Force yourself to make plans for the day, and follow through with all those plans. Force yourself to get to class early so you can look over the material. Force yourself to pay attention in class and turn off your phone or at least put it on silent. Stop texting your friends and going on Instagram in class. You are wasting your time, so why even bother going to class if your are going to be distracted? Be selfish. Stop giving your time to people that do not matter. YOUR TIME IS SO SO PRECIOUS. STOP WASTING IT! This is the most important thing that you can do right now, take care of you and your education. Stop being distracted by the world and it’s never ending problems. This is the time that you need to put toward yourself because you are the greatest investment of your life. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. EVERYDAY is a chance to wake up and give your 150%. EXHAUST yourself. That is the only way to give your all. At the end of the day, you should be exhausted from working so much, from reading so much, from exercising so much. Don’t go home because you are tired. Do whatever you need to get done and don’t come home until it’s all done. Stay late at the library. You feel tired? Good. That is how you know you are giving it your best. Go to the gym, and give your work out your all. When you go home, you should feel like you are drained. You should feel like you have nothing left to give because you gave it your all. Because then, you can be proud of yourself and everything you have achieved. Giving it your all is what matters. Give your all every single day. Discipline your mind and your body and you will become successful. You fall back one day? That is O.K., try the next day. You are human, so accept your mistakes. However, love yourself enough to know that you will never giving. THIS IS IT. THIS IS YOUR LIFE. Right now, no matter what circumstances we are all in, is what matters. Take advantage of today. Write down your dreams and force yourself to work toward them, one day at a time. IT’S TIME TO FOCUS. THIS is your year. This is your life. One day at a time baby. One day at a time. Go ahead and don’t stop.

Astronomy Masterpost
I’m looking forward to the day where I can be that cliche girl that studies and gets shit done in a coffee shop or library, with my head always in a book and daydreams filling my head. Just imagine. A cup of coffee to the left, books stacked high beside you, knowing you’ve accomplished so many things, and that feeling that you’re finally getting somewhere. And you’re okay for once in your life. You’re okay.
Quick reminder, especially for you younger undergrads: Discipline is a skill, not a character trait. And just like any skill, it can be practiced and improved upon incrementally. Try not to get discouraged if you have a day, or multiple days, where you are less disciplined than you would like or need to be. Don’t quit. Don’t spend the next week binging Netflix because you think it’s a hopeless endeavour. Just get up the next day and try again. Each day you try is more practice, and each day you practice, you’ll get a little bit better, and that continual improvement will pay dividends in the long run.
Keep at it.
