We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

You become what you think about

Keep away from small people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around

Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability

I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be

hm...I do agree with most of them. however, i do not believe that we should be measured by "what we should have accomplished with our ability" but actually by what we have accomplished. Think about it, everybody has greater potential to do something, but that doesn't mean they use it to their advantage. it's what the person does and not what they should have done that defines them.

basically yes with the exception of:
Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda......IF is the saddest concept in the known world.
I would say "Don't measure yourself by what others may think you have accomplished, but by what you know you have accomplished."
