Moments to Ponder: A Collection of Inspirational, Humorous and General Wellbeing Quotes and Phrases to Make Your Day

By Robert Gesmundo

I have compiled this book as I believe in the power of the Word.

Correctly used and interpreted, the Word is a strong ally in helping to affect feelings, attitudes, and actions you may take.

I have worked on and collected this series of quotations over a long period of my working and personal life, but until now, I have only shared some of them with family, friends, and associates.

They have been my inspiration when I needed moral support and mental understanding and guidance in moments of need.

As you will appreciate, I cannot outline my life experiences and how all these quotations have affected me, but I will outline some of the major benefits and solutions. Some of these quotations have helped me resolve many personal and business situations in my life.

Preface

I have compiled this book as I believe in the power of the word.

Correctly used and interpreted the power of the word is a strong ally in helping to impact on feelings, attitudes and actions you may take.

I have worked on and collected this series of quotations over a long period of my working and personal life but until now have only shared some of them with family, friends and associates.

They have been my inspiration when I needed moral support and mental understanding and guidance in moments of need.

As you will appreciate I cannot outline my life experience and how all of these quotations have impacted me but I will outline some of the major benefits and solutions some of these quotations have helped me resolve my personal and business situations in my life.

This is why I still read some on a daily basis at the start of my day.

I sincerely hope that they will be a valuable experience and of benefit to you as they have been for me over many years.

With the exception of some old sayings and proverbs all of the Authors are unknown or anonymous. However I wish to acknowledge them wherever they may be.

I hope you enjoy the quotations in Moments to Ponder as much as I still do.

I leave you with my favourite Quote.

Age is merely the number of years the World has been enjoying me

Robert Gesmundo

AIMM CMC Cert. IV in Celebrancy

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change

Courage to change the things that I can and

Wisdom to know the difference.

You can if you think you can.

If you THINK you are beaten, you are.

If you THINK you dare not, you don’t.

If you like to win, but you THINK you can’t

It is most certain you won’t.

If you THINK you’ll lose, you’re lost.

For out in the world we find,

Success begins with a fellow’s WILL –

It’s all in the state of MIND.

If you THINK you’re outclassed, you are.

You’ve got to THINK high to rise.

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the man who THINKS he can.

There have been times in my business career when I had doubts as to what action to take. One such occasion was should I resign from a secure long term job in the State Public Service to purchase a business which would be a new experience for me, venturing into the unknown.

I wanted to, so by reading the above I accepted the fact that I could do it and as they say the rest is history
