The Number One Quality You Need

“The longer I live, the more deeply am I convinced that that which makes the difference between one man and another–between the weak and powerful, the great and insignificant, is energy–invisible determination–a purpose once formed, and then death or victory.  This quality will do anything that is to be done in the world; and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make one a man or woman without it.”

-Buxton

  1. What stands out most about this truly inspirational quote (that’s the point, right?) is ENERGY! Not simply the obvious, “I have the energy to accomplish this…” but the fact that everything surrounding us and in us – what makes us who we are – is energy. Tapping into that most valuable of resources is essential. Energy is necessary for us as individuals in living, participating, reaching our goals. Universal energy brings it all together. It’s what feeds our individual energy.

  5. This is quite true actually. Depending on how you look and interpret the word, “energy,” the statement will interpret by itself. To me, energy in this sense means motivation, courage, strength, self-esteem, confidence, wisdom, etc. Basically any words that pertain to achievement. =)
