There are many but these ten are my favorite

Have you ever watched the show Suits? Because trust me if you haven’t I don’t know what you’ve watched.

Suits is my favorite show, trust me I’ve watched numerous show but none come close to this one. The attitude, the pride, the love, the grandeur of this show for me is unmatched. Harvey Specter is one of the lead characters in this show and I can say that his quotes fill you with inspiration.

His personality and his sense of style can literally mesmerize you. He has this aura that makes you wanna be someone around him. He choses to mentor a young guy named Mike Ross and the both of together are the dynamic duo who know how to win..

1. Don’t play the odds, play the man

I’ve watched this show which has 9 seasons more than five times yet I learn something new each time I watch it. As I write this story I can hear his voice in my head.

We all face various kinds of people in our life each day. It might be your boss or a client you are trying to get a contract from, a neighbor who doesn’t let you live peacefully. When we want to win against them we need to understand the kind of person he is and what kind of emotion he reacts to. Is it fear, charm, or anger. You don’t need to play the odd, you need to play the man to win against them.

2. Sometimes when someone pulls a gun on you, instead of bullets, it’s full of blanks.

I mean think about it how many times has someone tried to actually intimidate you have tried to tried to scare you but all they are doing is bluffing. I mean my mom literally does this every day at home. She tries to intimidate me into doing something that she wants me to do.

This line can teach you alot. Half of the people around you are actually bluffing but their gun is filled with blanks. They don’t have anything against you yet they act like they do. Remember you always have a choice.

3. Winners don’t make excuses, when the other side plays the game.

Everyone has a desire, but most people are unaware of how to dedicate themselves to the discipline required to achieve it. Match your ambition to your commitment and discipline.

When I try to follow a goal, an inner voice keeps nagging me to abandon it. That’s how our brain works, it doesn’t want to do hard tasks. There is saying where there is a will, there’s a way. Well, that’s how you stop making excuses with your will to achieve the goal and your disciple to be consistent.

I’ve wanted to be a consistent medium writer since june but I’ve always failed to do so, but this month I’ve consistently been writing stories to achieve my goal.

4. I don’t have dreams, I have goals

Humans, like dogs, have become followers, chasing after impossible ideals in order to feel better.

Why not focus our thinking into the actual process of attaining concrete results, rather than directing our energy toward high ideas? Why not build the dream on a foundation of smaller, more attainable goals? In the boardroom, infinite aspirations have no place.

Dreams are romantic and amusing, and I don’t deny that. They have the potential to be fantastic. However, the chilly attitude of Suits protagonist Harvey Specter, who states, “I don’t have dreams.” “I have goals,” seems to me to be more than accurate.

5. That’s the difference between us, you want to lose small, I want to win big.

In life there are two kinds of people. One are the kind of people who are risk takers and want to win in life. the others are the ones who just don’t want to lose.

I mean I get that there are people who win big under the fear of losing but those are different from the people who want to lose small. These people restrict themselves and don’t try at all with the fear of losing.

I’d like to be the person who is tries and tries, even if there is always a chance of losing. I hope you are too.

6. When your back is against the wall, break the goddamn thing down.

It basically means that you always have a choice. In life, there will be many times when you find yourself in an unfortunate situation but it is upto you if you want to give in to the crisis or break your barriers down.

They say that when a door is closed there are 17 more windows that open up to you. Similarly, there will many barriers on your way to success. It’s up to you if you want to give up or keep moving ahead..

7. Loyalty is a two way street

This is my favorite quote of all time.

We live in a world with backstabbers as our friends. People have so many faces, it’s hard to count. In this kind of world loyalty becomes the most important thing for you to sustain.

If I am giving you my loyalty then I will automatically expect it back from you. Remember to choose people around you wisely. Never be someone who only takes. If someone is giving you their loyalty, remember to not back stab them.
