Why Do We Love Quotes So Much?
Thanks to the wonders of the internet, quotes are literally everywhere these days; Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pintrest, news sites, blogs, on the wall at the office, you name it! Quotes have the power to inspire us to take on a different perspective on life, change our work ethic when things are looking gloomy and most commonly, to summarise an emotion, feeling or belief with a quick, powerful insight that strikes us deeply.
For example, Mark Twain’s famous quote “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do” serves the purpose of inspiring us to take a chance NOW with things that we might be on the fence about.
Always wanted to take a gap year to travel the world, but are a bit worried about finding a job when you return? When it’s too late, you’re much more likely to regret not doing it than you are to regret spending a year away from work exploring. Need extra qualifications to secure your dream job, but aren’t 100% guaranteed to get the job at the end of them? Take the chance, master the subject, and strive to be the very best in the industry.
Here are 5 of the best ones we’ve found that demonstrate the variety of quotes:
1) “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” - Steve Jobs
2) “Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.” - Elbert Hubbard
3) “Great vision without great people is irrelevant.” - Jim Collins
4) “You can’t teach employees to smile. They have to smile before you hire them.” - Arte Nathan
5) “Take advantage of today because tomorrow is not promised” – Anon.
These might be just a couple of business-related quotes that you’d usually find on LinkedIn, and a couple of perspectives on life that typically live on quirky ‘Life Quote’ Instagram pages. Nonetheless, we all love a good quote regardless of its nature, because we can relate to them whether it is a relation to our own experiences, a relation to a perspective on something in life, or a relation to beliefs that we are trying to or have implemented into our lives to better ourselves.
The 21st Century quote craze isn’t going anywhere, so why not create some yourself?
