Self Improvement Quotes

Self Improvement is necessary to succeed in life. Before comparing oneself to another individual, it is best and certainly more healthy if the competition is kept with oneself. If you can achieve a particular target today then the intelligent thing to do is to better your achievement for the next month. A complaining attitude works only till a certain age and until you are at home; the outside world is different. With stiff competition facing you everywhere, a certain set of etiquettes and professional attitude will take you places. You could start with bringing positivity back into your life, identifying the weaknesses and endeavour to become a good human being. Self satisfaction is more of a bane than a boon since stagnation sets in if the quest for excellence ceases. Thus it is important to be open to constructive criticism and constantly work towards building a better you. So, read the self improvement quotes and get inspired to work better and strive harder.
