			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1382" title="Mother Teresa" src="http://claytonjohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/mother-teresa.jpg" alt="Mother Teresa" width="280" height="280" />We often turn to influential people for inspiration &#8211; whether it&#8217;s in the arena of sports, entertainment or politics. We observe how they act and how they speak. But perhaps what is most inspiring about them is what they have to say about succeeding in life. There are inspirational quotes by famous people on life that everyone would benefit from reading.</p>
<p>I myself am inspired daily by their words. In this article, you will know some of the most memorable quotes by famous people that can lead you to massive success.</p>
<p><strong>1) &#8220;Though I&#8217;m grateful for all my blessings, it hasn&#8217;t changed who I am. My feet are still on the ground. I&#8217;m just wearing better shoes.&#8221; &#8211; Oprah Winfrey</strong></p>
<p>As powerful and as influential as Oprah Winfrey is, she has never let it go to her head. She remembers her roots, what she has been though; and yet she shows appreciation for what she has now.</p>
<p>This is one of the major reasons why the whole world still can&#8217;t get enough of Oprah Winfrey. If you&#8217;ve just been promoted, for example, don&#8217;t flaunt it for all the building to see. Don&#8217;t turn into a snob and don&#8217;t look down on others.</p>
<p>Instead, count your blessings and be thankful that you have reached this far. Then use your success to help others achieve the same.</p>
<p><strong>2) &#8220;Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we&#8217;ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.&#8221; &#8211; Barack Obama</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to motivational quotes by famous people, this is probably one of the most relevant right now. If you really want to succeed in life, you have to take matters into your own hands.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t slump on your desk complaining about the injustice of work. If you want that raise, don&#8217;t just wish it in your head. Start actively doing things that would get you that raise.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t gripe about the broken coffee maker or the perpetually defected photocopy machine. Have the courage to write a report about it and process it to the right department.</p>
<p><strong>3) &#8220;God doesn&#8217;t require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.&#8221; &#8211; Mother Teresa</strong></p>
<p>If you want to read inspirational quotes by famous people, you can&#8217;t go wrong with Mother Teresa. Her compassion for everything will not only strengthen your faith in yourself, but also your faith in others.</p>
<p>This particular quote teaches you not to give up so easily. Nobody is perfect. But that doesn&#8217;t mean people can use that as an excuse to come up with shabby results. At the very least, make the effort to fulfill your goals and success will follow.</p>
<p>We all have different interpretations of success and different ways of achieving it. However, based on all these motivational quotes by famous people, the most important success is the one we get from coming into an understanding with ourselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-729" title="motivation" src="http://claytonjohnston.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/motivation-296x300.gif" alt="motivation" width="296" height="300" />There is no denying that history has bequeathed us many excellent examples of highly motivated individuals &#8211; and those individuals tended to have had a way with words, which is why some books and websites are able to fill their pages with motivational quotes, such as Henry Ford&#8217;s &#8220;A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.&#8221; Many business leaders and business &#8220;gurus&#8221; have said how useful such quotes from the great and good have been to them, and of course, they should know.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">The general wisdom is that such quotes inspire the individual and spur on the team. They provide a basis for the ethos of a workplace and its business aims. They are particularly effective among individuals in the process of starting up their own business &#8211; in such cases, motivational quotes. However, this only occurs when motivational quotes are part of a wider motivational programme &#8211; there needs to be substance behind the quote, and employees soon notice if they are expected to magically improve their performance without any assistance, extra resources or the encouragement of management.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">And of course, living as we do in a rather cynical, media-savvy age &#8211; in the age of The Office&#8217;s David Brent &#8211; the parroting of motivational slogans in a discourse peppered with &#8220;management-speak&#8221; will often turn people off, rather than inspiring them, especially if they suspect that the person or organisation issuing the quote, doesn&#8217;t really understand it themselves.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">It is important to realise that there are two intended audiences for motivational quotes &#8211; individuals who are, or who wish to, run their own business or enterprise, and groups of individuals who are being targeted by their employer for motivation. The first audience are more likely to be receptive to motivational quotes &#8211; they are already committed to the business path, they are in the business of finding inspiration and actively want to be motivated. They are also likely to have sought out such quotes voluntarily. And this is an important point.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"><p><a href="https://claytonjohnston.com/fantastic-motivational-quotes"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p></p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">The situation for a group of employees can be very different. Often a workforce feels dragooned into a motivational programme, which engenders precisely the opposite effects to those intended. People tend to resent being forced to do things, and of course many employees are &#8220;only in it for the money,&#8221; and have no interest whatsoever in striving to be the best they can be. They may not share Voltaire&#8217;s belief that &#8220;work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need&#8221;! Whether these people would be happier in another job is another argument &#8211; but it cannot be denied that many employees fall under this category. When using motivational quotes with the aim of enthusing a workforce, employers must be prepared for the likelihood that many will remain completely unmoved.</p>
<p style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">But you won&#8217;t see any indication of this when searching for &#8220;motivational quotes&#8221; on the internet. There is a seemingly infinite supply of websites and books for sale all promising the definitive list. The moral of this seems clear &#8211; if you really want to get rich from motivational quotes, then publish a book of them!</p>
