After spending some time on Entre Card, the new craze taking the blogging world by storm, I happened by an offer by a very generous and very creative blogger. After a few emails, on a soon to be uncovered idea, I ended up on his web site and was captivated by the first post the I saw.

Before I get into that I must fulfill one of my commitments and pledge my allegiance to monsters. I truly believe that throughout the ages monsters have been unfairly treated and I think society should stop the unfair persecution now…Monsters Rock! ok enough silly talk….

The first post on his web site I saw was titled “Top 20 Entrepreneurial Quotes“. The quotes I then read certainly give inspiration when you believe things are getting to hard, too tough and you are struggling in your day to day tasks. They also reflect what it takes to be successful in life and business.

Early on in my career used to get questioned a lot about how much I would invest in my own career rather than waiting for my various employers to offer some half baked training with strings attached. Hence I am now reaping the rewards for the hard effort and investment in one of the biggest influences in my life, Work! I recommend all those unhappy workers out there read the quotes at the bottom of this post and start to make changes to take you to a much happier life.

Not only do I truly enjoy my work, I see it more of a well payed hobby at times, but let me stress it wasn’t always like that. It only through planning, caution, persistence and hard work that you can ultimately turn what some see as a daily nightmare into an integral and enjoyable part of your life.

The quotes below are from people from various walks of life. Everyone from Mahatma Gandhi to Donald Trump.

Thank you Sergey for these quotes, as you requested on your blog I am sharing with others…
