  1. You decide what road you want to take if its the road to success or the road to failure. The road to success might seem hard at first and it might be hard to get through but it will be better at the end. While if you take the easy way out and take the road to failure you will find it easy to go through but at the end everything will be harder. The road to success is hard to go through but the success that is accomplished will pay for all the hard work that you have gone through. CTR

  2. No road to success was ever easy. If it were so then we'd all be successful. So instead of complaining about how hard it is, enjoy it instead because the rougher the road, the stronger you are at the end. The long and winding road of life ends only when and where you want it to.

  3. it is true to reach the top its a rough road. it takes
    hard work and a lot of dedication because nothing
    in this world is easy to obtain we must work hard in
    order to reach success and not give up along the road
    because if we do then it was all for nothing.

  4. Sometimes choosing the right path means going threw the rocky, cure path. The path with the most obstacles but no matter how hard the path might be if thats our dream and goal to achieve, it's important ot keep going. If you set your heart on it yu will get there, it just takes patiences and dedication. =)

  5. i agree 110%!! Sometimes we have to hit a bump in the road to learn life's lessons. Sometimes, we have so stubborn, we don't see what REALLY going around us. it's good to be your own best friend(self-motivational) because if we do things wrongly, we don't have to point fingers at anyone but ourselves.

  6. this is so right! no matter how hard the road is you still keep on going, if it brings you down you get right back up and try even harder. nothing ever brings you down on pursuing your dream. another bump on the road is nothing but a great challenge, a great challenge that will pay off in your journey to success.(;

  7. The quote is true because the road to success isn't always fun. You have to work really hard to be successful you might even have to work at dead-end jobs for a while, but you still have to work hard. It is going to be a struggle, and pain in the butt, but you have to go threw it. Sooner or later you will reach the highest point of success and you will be able to look back and realize all the hard work and struggle was ALL worth the time and effort.

  8. When you are trying to accomplish something that is great, it is always going to be a hard and bumpy road. This is why it is so great because not everyone has the strength to keep on going on and on. When you get to the end of the road, you will become a successful person.

  9. The road to success is always in construction because people never make up there minds about what they want to do. Success is never finished. It's in the process of being done. Up and down, situations make you stronger and get you to the top. Just how succeeding is you go up and down like a roller coaster and you'll get to the top:)

  11. I agree with the following quotes because I also believe that roads at times can be bumping and its hard to get somewhere but with lots of effort you eventually get to your destination. Yes the road to success is always on construction because every step you take is one more piece to complete the road.

  12. this quote i like because life isnt easy everyone should know that, but life isnt always going to be that way. life gets hard right after you get out of high school because after high school some kids dont know what to do and it gets hard for them. once you know what you want to do and you do it life gets better its. life gets easier. most things in life are going to be a rough road but once that road is fixed you will have greatness.

  13. The motivational pictures are pretty cool. They make sense. And its true about the road to success. It's rough road and it's always under construction. And we're the ones building our own roads. I prefer it that way.

  14. To reach success you have to go through a lot of hear ache as well as mind breaks, its always hard getting to where you are but it will teach something in the end, and when you reach the top you have reached it with knowledge. You will face challenges but those struggles those obstacles will only serve as a tool to get you ready to when you reach your goals their not there to stop you but to teach you lessons you might need in the future.So persist and work hard for your goals.

  18. this post is very motivational, because whenever i feel like all this hard work is going to lead nowere i am going to start thinking babout this because this pose is very true. how did the twin towers get to be so big and so successful??? by construction. how do you think the car you drive got to be.??? by construction. everything big or small start with a base or a construction process. that is what life is it is a construction step that you are in charge of make sure you do things right or else your house,car, building,swing set, will end up falling :((. i know everybody can construct their own masterpiece !!!!!

  19. Yes, the road you have chosen for your destiny is not really easy, it will get tough one way or another, but as you go and go you will get closer to greatness. It's like running a marathon you run and it seems so easy at the beginning of a mile but it starts to get tough because you are tired, but as you go you get closer to the finish line and you begin to feel the greatness to success. Be motivated and patient. Construct your own SUCCESS!
    Choose the Right always!!

  20. What i think this quote is trying to say is that on your path to success you will struggle a lot. You will always find difficulties and encounter problems.
    If you overcome these difficulties and problem on this path you will reach you destination, success. It's a rough road on the path to success but it is all worth reaching your destination.

  22. I ALSO AGREE WITH TODAY'S IDEA. TO GREAT IN LIFE YOU NEED TO WORK HARD AND FACE LOTS OF CHALLENGES THROUGHOUT THE WAY. WHEN YOU OVERCOME THIS CHALLENGES YOU WILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF. FOR EXAMPLE, SCHOOL CAN BE A CHALLENGE BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY OBSTACLES LIKE DOING YOUR HOMEWORK, PASSING YOUR CLASSES, WAKING UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND ETC. BUT WHEN YOU OVERCOME THIS CHALLENGES YOU WILL REWARDED WITH A DIPLOMA. CTR

  23. The hard and rough road and the only one that is going to led you to success. its not easy going tough that road but if you do your are going to be happy you did go all the way and reach the top. The easy road is not going to take you were you want and not going to be that successful in life. if you choose the easy road then you are going to regret that you did you are not going to in joy life that much you are going to be working a lot. so be strong and take the hard and rough road and you are going to be happy you did and going to have a good life. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  26. The roads we want to success are always under construction, to get where we want to be we have to go through a lot of ups and downs but we could always end up on the top. We have to work hard and let life give us challenges so that we could succeed. We have to keep on persisting to reach our goals. We need to choose to make that road a better road for us.

  27. Being successful means that you have to go ALL THE WAY. What i mean by going all the way is to go all the way to the top. Going all the way to the top will help you be successful. It's not easy but it is worth it. You will have a bumpy ride, a flat tire, etc. But the thing is that you got to keep going. You will be successful if you keep going and going and going no matter what. The road to success is under construction because you are the one creating that road. Find the right road and pursue your goals and become an Academic Champion. CHOOSE THE RIGHT--------------->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

  29. "It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness." is a great quote. This quote is also very true, only the roughest roads will lead you to greatness. Your goals sometimes are not easy to achieve, but when you do achieve them you notice that all that hard work was worth it. So choose the right, and don't take the nice smooth road because hard work pays off. :)

  30. If you have a goal to do something and it's getting hard well that just means your on your way to the right path. Nothing comes easy or have it's short-cuts because then you wont have completed your mission. It's better if you do it one step at a time and get through those challenges. It will be so much easier. But just know never to give up. Always keep yourself focused and alarmed on what's going on. So CHOOSE THE RIGHT to the TOP!!:)

  31. The road that has more ups and downs is the road that will lead you to heights. Meaning success. Greatness will come to you thats why you have to go through these rough roads because its hard to get to great heights. But in order to make it easy you have to look at it easy. Work hard, work smart and work together. The three W's. Live by the W's. Achieve and accomplish goals. CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

  32. This quote means that success isn't as easy as just walking down a smooth road. It's gonna take from you a lot of hard work for you to succeed in life. Also you can say that success is like walking on a rough road, it's gonna take a lot of effort for you to make it across the road, but at the end when you have reached the end it is all worth it. This is telling me that studying everyday and working hard that is walking down the rough road, but at the end of the road that is my diploma waiting for me. So, always work ward and Choose the Right and you to can make it through the rough road and reach your goals and succeed in life.

  33. Theres a lot of twists and turns in life, they can be very hard to over come, but eventually you will get there. you have to think and ask yourself what you want to be, next you have to ask yourself how you'll get there. Theres always going to be a pump on the road, but you will get through it. You have to work hard to succeed in life, and at the end you'll get all the rewards. Choose The Right!!!!!

  36. "It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness"- Seneca. Achieving your goals is not always going to be easy. In fact most of the times it is quite difficult. There are obstacles one must over come in order to achieve our goals. You must want it, want it with all your heart so that you may have the endurance and self motivation to come over each and every obstacle coming your way.

  37. "It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness." is a very true quote indeed because to get to what you want you have to go through a lot and not all of it is going to be a nice road there's going to be some bumps along there. but the point is you will get there no matter what just keep trying(:

  38. NO MATTER HOW MANY DIPS YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WILL END UP AT THE TOP. DONT EVER DOUBT YOURSELF WHEN YOUR IN A DIP IN YOUR LIFE. JUST ALWAYS THINK THAT THERE IS ANOTHER UP GOING ROAD AFTER THAT DIP. WHEN YOUR WORKING ON YOUR SUCCESS, THERES NO STOPPING AT ALL. YOU JUST HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH IT NO MATTER WHAT LIFE THROWS AT YOU.

  40. Getting to the top is not always as easy as it sounds. To reach your goals you will have to overcome lots and lots of struggles in your everyday life. To reach to the top, you always start from the very bottom and take one step at a time, do not try to rush into things. Let things go smoothly and flow easy. Just know that by working towards your goal a little each day that sooner or later, you will be at the top and have accomplish your goals.

  41. It's true all our roads to success are always under construction because nothing in life is never given to us we have to work our way up and construct our own road of success which is being either a doctor, police, lawyer, and a lot more because at the end of the road nobody is going to be there next to you but you and only you because nobody is going to be helping you because thats your road your trying to construct and your going to finish your road no matter what it takes and no matter how long it takes because ones your done with your road your going to be proud of your self because you build up your own road and now its time to enjoy it

  42. I like "The road to success is always under construction." because it's true. When ever you want to do anything, anything at all, you have to build the train tracks that you will be riding to your destination, your goal. you can't expect that something is coming your way, you have to go to it. you have to take precaution on what you are doing and make it happen.

  46. What this means to me, is that no road is ever clear until you reach the end. Or that every road has a bump somewhere along the way. Every road has twist and turns, ups and down, swerves here and there. What it really means is that life itself has many ups and downs itself, any path you take in life you will see many challenges, difficulties, and struggles for yourself. This doesn't you shouldn't pursue what you love, if you love it so much get through that challenge show some enthusiasm and take the challenge head on. The road to success is always under construction because it's your own road to your on failure and your own success. You choose the type of road you want. Will you go every bump you make, or will you smoothen out your problem, Will you go up and down, swerve, twist and turn? Or should you know what's coming your way because it is your road and you should know what to prepare for. If make it down the road, the ROAD you like, the one you chose then you will eventually reach your goal at the end of that road. No matter where life takes you, wether it's a crazy bumpy ride? Maybe an adventure or has a path for you to explore, Take a chance because you only live once its up to you to choose what you want to do with it. Take the challenge don't let ups and downs bring you to a stop, keep moving forward.

  49. The road to success is not an easy road to be on but it is the right road to be on. Nothing in this life comes easy, you have to work for it, work HARD for it. Taking shortcuts to get there won't make it any easier either because taking shortcuts is kind of like missing a day or two of school, it won't affect you much now but once you get to your desired goal you may have missed a lesson or something important that you really needed. When you decided you wanted to take the shortcut that's when you missed it. Just work hard, work smart, work together and always choose the right and you know that you are on the right path!
