Novel & Cerita Pep Talk Quote

I’ve got to bulldoze my way into the NFL; I just have to figure out how. I think about the quotes I have taped up on my bathroom mirror. Push yourself because no one else is going to do it. You are responsible for your success. You is all you have. And fuck, that last one crawls around inside me and sticks.

He hummed and the room fell silent, I didn’t know what to say, his words echoed repeatedly in my mind. “Don’t be sorry, dona,” he said. “You have more power than you think. Beneath all that fear is a strong woman waiting to rise.” I turned to him and a small smile on my face, “Thank you,” I said, standing up slowly. His little pep talk had struck a chord, igniting a determination I hadn’t realized I possessed. “You know,” I said, attempting to lighten the mood, “for a man who looks as scary as you, you give surprisingly good pep talks.”

If it were anyone else, she might have been happy, but why did it have to be that arrogant CEO, Alexander? She turned to Sir Luis Montefalco, who was silently watching her. After a moment of hesitation, she finally decided to speak up. “With all due respect, sir, I feel like I need to say this. If I don’t, I might regret it for the rest of my life.” Nicole spoke seriously, as if this job interview were a wedding ceremony, and she was about to object, much like the phrase, ‘If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.’

He said plainly. I stared at him, irritated for reasons I couldn't explain. "That's it?" "That's it." "You're not going to tell me that I'm brave or special or..." I waved a hand, frustrated, "Whatever Alpha pep talk you've got hidden away in your pocket?" "Do you want the pep talk?" He said, his mouth twitching again. "No..." I snapped automatically. Then, because honesty is apparently my persoonal curse today, "Maybe..." I added in a smaller voice.

“You are the only person who has ever really listened without making it weird,” Zack admits, his voice dropping to a lower register. “Everyone else either starts crying or tries to give me inspirational quotes or something.” The wind rustles through a nearby oak branches overhead while they sit in comfortable silence for a moment. “Inspirational quotes,” she echoed. “That is a new one. What like ‘hang in there’ cat posters? Weird.”

"That's the worst pep talk I've ever received." "I'm not a pep talk guy. I'm a 'here is the situation, deal with it' guy. They're different services." He balled up the napkin. "She told you losing you would cost her something. Out loud. With her mouth." He stood. "My sister would sooner perform her own surgery than say a thing like that for effect. Sit with that instead of sitting with the other thing." "And if Benjamin wins?"

I am going nuts by trying to keep her attention on me. "You know, there's my favorite quote from Dead Poets Society…" I began blabbering. In my John Keating voice, I continued. "I stand upon my desk to remind myself that we must constantly look at things in a different way." I took the brief second from my monologue to look at her. She isn't doing anything--which was both a relief and a panic to me. Who knows what's going on in her mind.

What if I fail them? You won't, he sent with so much conviction I laughed and wiped at my tears while Sassafras purred and rubbed against me. You can't. That's just not your nature. And if you do fall, Syd, it won't be a failure. Not yours. It will be theirs. Okay then. Quaid, Sassafras's mental voice gently interjected. I assume you contacted us for more than just a pep talk and a warning about weird orders?

“It's just that, I can't believe I'm here right now. I never thought I'd be sipping champagne with Carter Winthrow. Not to mention I'm about to go and eat at La Reve. It feels kind of surreal.” Carter kept his gaze on me while I spoke. “Act as if you're where you want to be, and as surely as you can feel your own breath, you'll get there.” “Is that a quote?” I asked. “Who said that? Thoreau? Emerson?” He shook his head. “My father. I'd heard him say it countless times when I was growing up. It stuck with me.” “Was he involved with stocks too?” I asked, instantly wondering if I was crossing the line by prying.
