Why don’t we pick ourselves?
Three Reasons to Pick Yourself.
“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. Guess what they planned for you? Not much.”-Jim Rohn
#1: Nobody cares about you like you.
#2: You’ll be more successful.
“The dirty little secret is that people who are intrinsically motivated… almost always outperform their extrinsically motivated peers.”-Dan Pink, A Whole New Mind
#3: You won’t regret it.
YOU ONLY REGRET THE THINGS YOU
DIDN’T DO.
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

The Top 3 Reasons
#1: Persistence = Success
Who said this…
“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
“There's a way to do it better - find it.”
“Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.”
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
“The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show
how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who
don't want it badly enough.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
#2: Competition is NOT fierce.
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind”
#3: You’ll find your Tribe.
