Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that
inspires you here:

Every day you have to test yourself. If you don't, it's a wasted day.

Continuous effort -- not strength -- is the key to unlocking our potential.

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.

Every successful person has had their share of failure. Your success story is being made now.

A determined person doesn't find it hard to succeed; they find it hard to stop trying.
