There are many a way to win in this World, but none of them is worth much without good hard work. We are what we do daily. If an individual only works on the days when one feels good, an individual cannot get much in life. #RyanPhillippe

Regardless of how they feel, the ones who go far in life do so because they motivate themselves and give it their best. One of the greatest lessons my father taught me was the principle of pay now; play later. #RyanPhillippe

For everything in life, one pays a price because opportunity cost. Opportunity cost because we must give up something to obtain the items we want. For instance, you may spend eight hours a day working, therefore, takes away from the time available that you might want to spend with your family. #RyanPhillippe

You are giving up units of hours to make money. Therefore, for everything in life, you pay a price. You can choose whether you will pay it on the front end or the back end. #RyanPhillippe

If you pay first, then you will enjoy greater rewards in the end—and those rewards taste sweeter. So it is best to use your time wisely, do things that bring you and others joy. You never regain lost time, so make every moment matter. #RyanPhillippe

I try to make it my ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind my own business and to work with my hands, just as my father told me, so that my daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that I will not be dependent on anyone. #RyanPhillippe

Nothing of value comes without sacrifice. I may not be making money right now, but I am doing things to improve my quality of time. Life is filled with critical moments and I have the opportunity to trade one thing I value, my time for an education. #RyanPhillippe

My growth may not be obvious to other all at once, but progress takes time. The recognition from others may come slowly, but I will not lose heart. My father told me to keep working at my education, and do not worry about the costs because I will succeed in the end. #RyanPhillippe

It has been an incredible journey! Sometimes the experience is exciting; others times, it is only my discipline that carries me through. However, my teacher Mrs. Higgins made sure at a very young age that we all knew how to spell success. #RyanPhillippe

Our professor, Mrs. Higgings, said she always wanted us to remember her, and remember that she taught us how to be successful. To this day, I will never forget her and look forward to being a success. #RyanPhillippe

Success is knowing my purpose in life, sowing seeds that benefit others, and growing to my maximum potential. Great attitudes precede great opportunities. Who I am determines what I see. #RyanPhillippe

Beautiful as life is, our treasure island, I feel sometimes, like a lonely boat drifting on the sea, caught up in a White Squall. You pulled me to the seashore. #RyanPhillippe

Are you not still standing on the seashore, watching the Sun rising and the moon setting and looking forward to our meeting on the beach and scooping together the seawater that tells the story of blood being thicker than water? #RyanPhillippe

It warms my heart, like the stars on a Summer night. It was a long parting, but the time for interview has come; before the judgment-seat of God, the last and second time. #RyanPhillippe

Beautiful people do nice things; a Heaven in a gaze, a Heaven of Heavens, the privilege on one another’s eyes. No lifetime set on them, appareled as the new Sun, except they had beheld love everlasting now. #RyanPhillippe

A paradise, the host, a cherubim and seraphim, the most familiar guest. The kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure in a hidden field. Let me not stray from Thee, but compel me to do They will. #RyanPhillippe

Infinite life within me. You got my hypnotized I never felt this way; I like this part, it feels kind of good. #RyanPhillippe
