No matter who you are, chances are you’ve needed some motivation to be successful at some point in your life. Despite the term “overnight success,” no one actually achieves it in that timeframe — and sometimes that reminder helps. If you’re feeling discouraged or just need a little pick-me-up, it’s important to motivate yourself and remember that you are your biggest cheerleader.
When you need a little motivation, it’s important to remember that all of these people, from Walt Disney to Oprah Winfrey, started exactly where you did. They were all disheartened or felt like they weren’t going to succeed — but they picked themselves back up and kept on going. This is your Life and you only get one shot, so might as well make the most of it, right?
This is just one of the many reasons all students should read these inspirational quotes for kids. We also have a collection of Life Success Quotes . Be sure to read that as well
