25 Beautiful and Inspiring Quotes by Emma Watson

Encouragement is an essential tool for not just achieving success, but also for staying firmly on the road towards success. It’s what keeps us away from the thoughts of quitting, especially when you’re surrounded by setbacks in a certain stage of your life. Encouraging words are hence the rays of sunlight that get through a hole in the wall of disbelief and broken spirit. But most of the times, these words aren’t what play a vital role in motivating us, but it’s the person who’s saying it.  

If a successful person tells you that they’ve suffered through the stage you’re in, it’s an instant approval that things aren’t going as badly, you can actually make it. You’ve seen them rise to such a successful destination that they’re setbacks are shadowed, and their words instill a self-confidence within you that wishes to achieve that too. Today’s article showcases the words of a similar personality, a superstar who has played a huge part in all our childhoods; Emma Watson!

We want to empower women to do exactly what they want, to be true to themselves, to have the opportunities to develop.” ― Emma Watson
