Success-Watering“My list of ingredients for success is divided into four basic groups: Inward, Outward, Upward and Onward.” David Thomas

“Success is not permanent. The same is also true of failure.” Dell Crossword

Flaming enthusiasm, backed by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
Dale Carnegie

Eighty percent of success is showing up.
Woody Allen

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
Dr. David M. Burns

The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.

Don’t have REGRETS!

Posted by: cartooninggenius | Comments (0)

Someone just emailed me this quote, thought it was worth sharing…

“You’ll seldom experience regret for anything that you’ve done. It is what you haven’t done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you’ve lost them forever.”

Wayne Dyer
Author and Speaker

A few years ago I worked with Diet and fitness guru Rosemary Conley on producing some motivational cartoons for her UK magazine. Here’s another one of the cartoons I drew up for her…

While working on the series of cartoons I jotted down a number of slimming quotes…

Your stomach shouldn’t be a waist basket.  ~Author Unknown

A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit.  ~Author Unknown

More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.  ~John Kenneth Galbraith, The Affluent Society

In the Middle Ages, they had guillotines, stretch racks, whips and chains.  Nowadays, we have a much more effective torture device called the bathroom scale.  ~Stephen Phillips

I keep trying to lose weight… but it keeps finding me!  ~Author Unknown

I never worry about diets.  The only carrots that interest me are the number you get in a diamond.  ~Mae West

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.  ~Author Unknown

Never eat more than you can lift.  ~Miss Piggy

There are two rules for success: 1) Never tell everything you know.

2)….
Roger H. Lincoln


“Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the end of the road, for then the journey is over and it is too late. Today, this hour, this minute is the day, the hour, the minute for each of us to sense the fact that life is good, with all of its trials and troubles, and perhaps more interesting because of them.”

Robert R. Updegraff
Author of “Be Thankful For Your Troubles”

“There ain’t no free lunches in this country. And don’t go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You’ve got to say, ‘I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.’ It’s called perseverance.”

Lee Iacocca
Businessman and Former CEO of Chrysler

Perseverence - I want it bad enough!

Perseverance. - I want it bad enough!

Here’s a few of my other favourite motivational and inspirational quotes…

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t. – Henry Ward Beecher

Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves. – Dale Carnegie

When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”
~Author Unknown

Looking forward to hearing your comments! Richard


REASON #1 – You never act on the information you read in
self-help books.

Reading the latest book by your favourite self-help author
may be interesting, even enlightening, but it is money
wasted if you just read the book, and do nothing else.

It seems that a lot of people want to champion the fact that
they have read “hundreds” of self-help books. For all the
good it has done them, they might as well have read hundreds
of novels!

You can get something out of every self-help book you read
…if you actually do something with the information rather
than just read it. By their very nature, these books should
be treated as life “User Guides” and dipped into at regular
intervals for inspiration.

If you do read a book from cover-to-cover make sure that you
have made notes about those “Ah ha” moments that you should
have had if the book has lived up to it’s promises.

The best thing of all to do is to summarize the book
yourself…by understanding the information on your own
terms you will be more able to focus on what you can apply
in real life.

I’m a great admirer of Gary’s work and have known him for years and love his ‘down-to-Earth’ approach.


Here’s the eighth cartoon in my A-Z of Positive Thinking cartoons. I think this is the last one I drew. The monthly magazine I was doing them folded shortly afterwards – nothing to do with my cartoons!

H is for Honesty!

H is for Honesty!

Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.- William Shakespeare

Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.Mary Kay Ash

Honesty is like an icicle; if once it melts that is the end of it -
