Motivational Quotes

Youth

Yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. Even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new and make a difference.

- Eric Schmidt

They overdo everything -- they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.
