Inspiring Business Quotes Help Conquer Tough Times
Who doesn’t love quotes of inspiration and motivation?
For example:
- “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” ~Winston Churchill
- “Win one for the Gipper!” — Knute Rockne
Of course, one of the classic motivational speeches of all time comes from Bluto (John Belusi) in the 1978 movie “Animal House”.
Bluto: “What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!… It ain’t over now, ’cause when the goin’ gets tough, (long pause)….the tough get goin’. Who’s with me? Let’s go! Come on!…”(He ran to the front door but no one followed him). If you grew up in the 70’s, this scene may bring a smile to your face.
Anyway, some great business quotes serve not only as an excellent source of inspiration but they also help put things in perspective during challenging times.
