The writing of Antonio Marco

Always try clothes on before you buy them. Stand, sit, walk and inspect yourself from all angles before you buy it so you don't regret it later. Knowing what it looks like on you is very important, as your body shape must suit the cut of the outfit.

The biggest challenge is to not be affected by praise because a lot of it is not from the heart. Being true to yourself about your strengths and weaknesses, when everyone out there has a strong opinion and wants to give advice, is another challenge.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.

The Lord gave us two ends - one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most

Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.

* Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. * Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. * Every great story on the planet happened when someone decided not to give up, but kept going no matter what.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds. Meekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.

Only I can change my life. ... Good, better, best. ... Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. ... Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. ... With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. ... Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough. ... Infuse your life with action.
