“The moment you buy into the idea you`re above anyone else is the moment you need to be slapped in the face.”
-Natalie Portman
I know this quote is not deep but I thought it was so necessary. This rule is so important, no matter how successful I am or how great I do, I will never allow myself to think I am better than anyone else. The moment you start to think that way, I think you will definitely start to lose some of the blessings that come your way. Humility is such a great quality.
I find this quotation to be true, it is going through hard times that we develop our characters and build attributes to help us achieve our success. Often we forget this when I am going through hardships, I immediately think “Why is this happening to me?” , without realizing that I go through this so that I can build my character and be prepared for all that comes with achieving success.
“The most important lesson I’ve learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.”
-Penelope Cruz
I have to agree on that one. I was never a yes woman, however when it came to business I thought it was a good thing to always say yes and be up for the challenge. Problem is, there are only so many hours in a day, so there is only so much you can do. That being said, saying yes to everything may very well compromise not only your integrity but also your time. It’s ok to say no in business, you don’t always have to say yes. I find that people respect you a lot more as well when they see that you are grounded, and know what works for you from what doesn’t.
