Getting Motivated With Inspirational Quotes
Learning something new is not only informative but can be done in a short amount of time. That is what OneMinuteU is all about. Our motto “Learn Fast” says it all. We have had thousands of contributors upload short yet highly focused nuggets of instruction that nearly 100,000 viewers have learned and grown from. We here at OneMinuteU want to touch the world with the videos and articles our members have shared. We know that some of the biggest obstacles in learning something new is having the right motivation. We all have issues in our daily lives that we can use as excuses to stop us from taking the time to learn something new. It becomes a vicious cycle in which we can fall into when we refuse to take the time to learn something that can better our life, increase our wealth, or foster our happiness. What we all need is the proper motivation.
Over the past 20 years I have had the pleasure and honor of working with some of the greatest motivational speakers of our time. From Anthony Robbins to Deepak Chopra to the speakers of The Secret I have learned that they all use short yet extremely powerful quotes of inspiration. Easily remembered these quotes many times can cut right though any obstacle that we place in front of ourselves. These golden nuggets of knowledge help re-energize us and open our eyes to new ways of thinking and living.
Here are a few educational quotes that have moved me:
‘Learning is a matter of intensity not elapsed time.’ Tom Peters ,‘Re - Imagine’
‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better’. Samuel Beckett
‘If there is a way to do it better… find it!’ Thomas Edison
What moves you? I’d like to know. Please submit your educationally themed motivational quotes to us at OneMinuteU. Just reply to this posting with your quotes and comments. List the quote and please signify who it is attributed to. Maybe they are original quotes authored by you. All the better! We will be sharing your quotes with the rest of the OneMinuteU community on a daily basis to help inspire others to learn and enrich their lives.
Life’s short. Learn Fast!

Beat the Winter Blahs!
We here at OneMinuteU.com hail from all over different parts of North America. Some of those parts have been having a winter that has, to put it nicely, “overstayed its welcome” quite a bit.
Don’t get us wrong - winter is a wonderful time of year, and there’s nothing that some of us like better than to wake up to a fresh snowfall and know that we have the whole day ahead of us to toboggan, snowboard, jump into snowbanks, and whip snowballs at our friends and enemies. It’s just that five months of it in a row tends to leave many of us yearning for warmer temperatures (not to mention some different colors besides white and grey to look at).
So what is one to do during the next few weeks, while waiting for spring to finally reveal its beautiful visage? We recommend keeping your spirits up by working to get into great shape, so that when the weather finally warms up you’ll look fantastic (and hopefully way better than your friends who live in those “pleasant” weather areas)!
Luckily, here at OneMinuteU.com we have a wealth of information available to you, contained within our hundreds of videos on health and fitness. There are videos - created by professional fitness instructors - on ab workouts, muscle toning, yoga, belly dancing, and much, much more to help you keep in shape until the time comes to show yourself off. And the best part is that nearly all of these exercises can be done safely within the warmth and comfort of your own home, hidden from the mocking gaze of Old Man Winter.
And as for those of you who have lived through nothing but sunshine and ocean breezes this winter, you’d do well to check out our workout videos as well, so that you don’t get shown up at the beach this summer by all of us Northerners who have been toughening up all winter!
Just do a search for whatever exercises you’re into, or click here to go right to our main workout video page and browse through everything we have.
