8 Must Read Success Lessons from Dr. Seuss

8 Must Read Success Lessons from Dr. Seuss

[1]

Theodor Seuss Geisel was a cartoonist and writer.  He's most
popular for his children's books written under the pen names Dr.
Seuss, Theo. LeSieg and once he wrote under the name Rosetta Stone.

Theodor published over 60 children's books.  These books were often
characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of
trisyllabic meter.

His most famous books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The
Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hears a
Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!.

Eleven television specials, three feature films, and a Broadway
musical have been created from adaptations of Theodor's work.

Without further a due, here are 8 lessons from Dr. Seuss.

*8 Must Read Success Lessons from Dr. Seuss:*

*1. Be Who You Are*

_"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't
matter, and those who matter don't mind."_

If you can't be yourself with your friends, then they're not your
friends, or at least they're not very good ones.  The sign that
someone is a good friend is how comfortable you are with them.  If
you can be who you are, and say how you feel, then hang with those
folks, they'll surely keep it "real."

*2. Trouble Your Troubles*

_"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come
from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm
all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with
me!"_

When troubles show up, you have to show up bigger.  Don't let
troubles trouble you; you trouble your troubles by showing up with a
"big bat!"  But not literally….  You show up with a "big
bat" by showing up with big courage, big faith, and big
determination, if you do, you will trouble your troubles….

*3. You Decide*

_"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can
steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.  And
you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go."_

How simple, yet how profound!  You decide where you go, only you. 
You are only limited by your ability to believe in the impossible.

*4. It's Up To You*

_"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going
to get better. It's not."_

No one is going to rescue you, they're not.  You have to dig
yourself out of the ditch.  You have to care enough; you have to be
motivated enough, to change things.  It's up to you.

Things only change, when someone cares an awful lot.

*5. Think*

_"You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn
a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room."_

My greatest discoveries have come from sitting alone in a quiet
room.  Dr. Suess said, "Think left, and think right, and think low,
and think high. Oh, the things you can think up, if only you try!" 
What can you think up?  Just try.

*6. The More You Know*

"The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn the more places you'll go."

Reading expands your mind to the possibilities; once your mind has
been expanded it can never go back to its original shape.  Commit to
expand your mind, commit to know more.  The more you know, the more
places you will go!

*7. Your Mountain Is Waiting*

_"Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting._

_So... get on your way."_

Everyday you're presented with a mountain.  You can climb the
mountain, or you can play in the valley.  If you climb more than you
play, you will truly be on your way.

*8. You Are You*

_"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive
who is Youer than You."_

No one can be you, youer than you!  That's good news all by
itself….
