Top 10  Motivational Quotes From People With Mojo


Motivation is the most important factor in having mojo, as I have said here. In this post, I will give you my list of quotes that addresses motivation. They are from people who had serious mojo. This list is intended to inspire you to increase your own mojo. Read them and think about them as you work to increase your own mojo.
Many sources make lists. I have used them to build mine for you. Wikipedia is a source that does a good job of describing how a list is built. But I don't rely on it. Instead, I used Forbes magazine, entrepreneur.com, and my own opinion to make this list. Here are my top ten mojo quotes, in no particular order:
1. I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse. –Florence Nightingale. Good advice for anyone who professes to have mojo.
2. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. –Wayne Gretzky. See willingness to act. Although Mr. Gretzky was in the sports world, his advice applies to
anyone.
3. I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. –Michael Jordan. Also quoted by many others including the two sources mentioned above. Learn from your mistakes and keep trying.
4. Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is. –Vince Lombardi. This is often misquoted as saying that wining is the only thing. He never said that. He had his priorities right and expected the same from his charges.
5. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. –Henry Ford. Also quoted by many others including the two sources mentioned above. Makes you think, doesn’t it? Attitude matters. Henry Ford believed he could do
things even if they had never been done before and he had to invent a new way to operate.
6. There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing. –Aristotle. A very old, but wise saying. Be daring.
7. When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me. –Erma Bombeck. Also quoted by many others including the two sources mentioned above. Erma Bombeck had polycystic kidney disease, a disease I know something about. She didn’t let it stop her.
8. I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do. -- Leonardo da Vinci
9. I didn’t fail the test. I just found 100 ways to do it wrong. –Benjamin Franklin. Never give up.
10. You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try. –Beverly Sills
Consider these ideas and the achievements of the people who said them. You will be inspired.

  Mojo Heroes And Antiheroes There are both heroes and antiheroes among people with high mojo. There is no law that says a person with high mojo has to be a nice person. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. Let’s define anti-hero. Webster says an anti-hero is “a protagonist or notable figure who is conspicuously lacking in heroic qualities”. Examples of heroic qualities are strength, ability, achievement, courage, and nobility. The number of anti-heroes compared to heroes is greater in fiction than in real life. It is just more fun to write about or play the more complex characters typified by anti-heroes. It exploits the talents of the actors better. It also seems as if there are more anti-heroes today than in prior years. But all of the people I am about to mention had high mojo, whether hero or anti-hero. In an earlier post , I described the top 10 American people with high mojo. They were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Ronald Reagan, Benjamin F

Top 10 Mojo Effects I am going to concentrate on the effects of a high mojo individual or set of individuals on a group of people, rather than on individuals themselves who have mojo. If you acquire more mojo for your group, you may experience one or more of these effects. There are three types of effects that you will see. There are the direct effects of increasing mojo on the group. There are the indirect effects of the example set by adding the mojo. Lastly, there are the synergistic effects each group member experiences from having a teammate with mojo. When you add mojo to your group, you also add each of the component of mojo : motivation , expertise , experience , support , faith , willingness to act , and luck . Obviously there is a net increase in each of these in the group. But with them, you get an example of proper attitude, behavior, and preparation (see below for the effects these will have). Also, each member of your group will come to know that they have a rol

Age and mojo How old can you be to start an activity? You have probably heard all of these: Age is just a number You are never too old  Youth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be There is no age limit to anything On the other hand, proverbial wisdom says: Youth must be served You need to do something for 10,000 hours before you can be good at it, If you fail early, you can learn from the experience before others even get started. It is easier to adopt good habits when you are young. These statements conflict with other. What is the truth? I will discuss four different ways of looking at age. Average “best” age Inspiration from outstanding performances at advanced ages Age limiting factors Age preventative measure People speak of a peak age for any given event. The best way to look at age is as a probability. For example, the probable peak age for a female gymnast is in the early teens. The probable peak age for a sprinter is in the late tw
