They are my motto and mindset to try and live by. They are how i keep my mind in the right place and with the right focus.
Alma 37:6
Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
and..
Alma 26:12
Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak;therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God,for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.
These two scriptures have helped me more than anything else keep my humility and my sanity throughout my mission, high school, and life.
Thoughts about Isaiah: As Nephi says (about why he didn't teach Isaiah to his children.) for they would have needed to understand the culture behind it and without living in it (as they had grown up in the Americas) they would not fully understand. To understand the scriptures (and Isaiah especially) we must first gain an understanding of the culture. (bible dictionary "parable")
Motivation:
Invite someone else so they motivate you to do what ever you want to do.
