We all get to that point during school where we think it\u2019s time to give up. We know we won\u2019t actually (or we hope we won\u2019t), but it\u2019s normal to get that overwhelmed feeling every once in a while and feel like you can\u2019t keep going. School is hard, and when you start feeling like this, it makes it very hard to study<\/a> and push through those midterms or finals.<\/p>\n

So if you are trying to trudge through business school and feel like you have hit a wall, maybe these inspirational quotes will help give you the motivation you need<\/a> to get back on the horse and get cracking towards your degree. It\u2019s surprising just how helpful a little nudge like this can be, so why not give them a read and see what happens?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who knows, maybe in a few years when you have the next brilliant business breakthrough or are at the top of your dream company, people will be jotting down the inspiring things you have to say, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe think, mistakenly, that success is the result of the amount of time we put in at work, instead of the quality of time we put in<\/strong>.\u201d \u2013Arianna Huffington (Co-founder, The Huffington Post)<\/h2>\n

I seriously got chills when I read this quote, because it is so relevant for both school now and your future career. This might be just the pick me up you need to put in those long hours, but not simply by being on your phone and studying, but taking the time to study and bust out your reading, uninterrupted, for a better learning experience and therefore, a better shot in the real world. Put in quality time and effort, and you will see results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe minute you start compromising for the sake of massaging somebody\u2019s ego, that\u2019s it, game over<\/strong>.\u201d \u2013Gordon Ramsay (Chef & Restauranteur)<\/h2>\n

In business school especially, you are going to have to work in groups<\/a> to get the job done, and sometimes, you may wish to get in with someone, which might mean forgoing your plans and course of action. Don\u2019t ever do away with your idea in order to please someone else; it will only lead to frustration and wanting a do-over.<\/p>\n

Compromising is part of the business of course, but make sure that you stand up for yourself so you don\u2019t always end up with the short end of the stick. It\u2019s important not to burn bridges through school, because you never know who you\u2019ll have to work with \u2014 or for, for that matter \u2014 in the future, but don\u2019t give in to everything that they want just to make them like you, because you don\u2019t know how far that will even get you.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything in life has some risk, and what you have to actually learn to do is how to navigate it<\/strong>.\u201d \u2013Reid Hoffman (Cofounder, LinkedIn)<\/h2>\n

This is a great one for when you are giving up on studying because you are afraid for the future. We all get to the point where we start to freak out about what will happen once we graduate, what we will do if no one hires us, what job<\/a> we even actually want, and how we are going to pay our bills and such that we just shut down.<\/p>\n

But this quote shows us that there is a risk with everything, and that as we go through life and learn to take more risks, we will learn to balance them and make good decisions along the way. We can\u2019t plan everything out exactly how we want, and that\u2019s okay, as long as we are trying to get somewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone once told me growth and comfort do not coexist. And I think it\u2019s a really good thing to remember<\/strong>.\u201d \u2013Ginni Rometty (CEO, IBM)<\/h2>\n

Getting out of our comfort zones is not something that we tend to like. I mean, it\u2019s called a comfort zone for a reason: we are comfortable there and know our way around and such, but that\u2019s not where ideas happen. You can\u2019t take risks or go for things when you are comfortable. Don\u2019t think of this as a scary step, think of getting out of your comfort zone as a necessary step towards success, and don\u2019t look back.<\/p>\n

“You don\u2019t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over<\/strong>.\u201d \u2013Sir Richard Branson (Founder, Virgin Group)<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important to remember that even the greats had to start somewhere. You are going to have a long journey ahead, probably filled with moments where you want to give up, but those are the exact moment that you have to push harder, get back up, brush yourself off, and try again. Mistakes and setbacks are part of the gig, and as long as your passion is behind you, you\u2019ll make it out somehow.<\/p>\n
