the three quotes that are most inspiring to me

"Opportunities don't happen. You create them." Chris Grosser.  This quote inspires me because it shows you that you have to work for things if and there's no free handouts in life. Knowing that you have to work for things if you want to get them makes me want to work harder than if I knew that I could go through life without having to face any struggles I wouldn't be inspired to do anything 

"The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus." Bruce Lee.  This quote inspires me because it shows how even an average person like myself can achieve greatness if I make sure I stay focused and don't slack off.

"If you are willing to do more than you are paid to do, eventually you will be paid to do more than you do." Anonymous.  This quote inspires me because it shows that if you are willing to put in the work you'll get the reward.  This quote also motivates me to put effort into my work.
