Motivational Quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American author from the 19th century. This quote reminds us that our past and our future are not as important as our character. The truth is our character is what will guide us toward the future. In spite of past failures in life, we can rely on our character to carry us through. Positive traits of honesty, hard work, persistence, and consistency help to determine our level of success in life. As an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students that inner strength can overcome many adversities that life sends our way. I remind my students of the power of focusing on their goals and never giving up until they are proud.
