The
victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals
and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become
endurable as
you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how
menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Striving for
success without hard work is like
trying to harvest where you haven't
planted. -David Bly
|
| |
| Success
usually comes to those
who are too busy to be looking for it.
-Henry
David Thoreau |
| |
|
If
I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information and advice
from the most successful tramp I could find. If I wanted to become
a failure,
I would seek advice from people who have never succeeded. If I
wanted
to succeed in all things, I would look around me
for those who are succeeding, and do as they have done.
-Joseph Marshall

| We can
think of the times--perhaps only yesterday--when we listened to a friend
in need, or finished a task that was
nagging at us. Maybe we made an
appointment to begin a project we've
been putting off. Success is taking
positive action, nothing more. Many
of us, in our youth, were taught that
success only came in certain shapes
and sizes. And we felt like failures.
We need new definitions;
it's time to discard the old. -unattributed |

| Nothing good
comes in life or athletics unless a lot of
hard work
has preceded the
effort. Only temporary
success is achieved
by taking short cuts. -Roger Staubach |
|
|
|
| When I
thought I couldn't go on, I forced myself to keep going.
My success is based on persistence, not luck.
-Estee
Lauder |
| |
| A
successful life for a man or for a woman seems to me to lie
in the
knowledge that one has developed to the limit the capacities
with which
one was endowed; that one has contributed something
constructive to
family and friends and to a home community;
that one has brought
happiness wherever it was possible;
that one has earned one's way in the
world, has kept some friends,
and need not be ashamed to face oneself
honestly. -Eleanor
Roosevelt |
| |
| The successful
person is the
individual who forms the habit
of doing what the failing
person doesn't like to do. -Donald Riggs |
| |
| What is the
recipe
for successful
achievement? To
my mind
there are
just four
essential
ingredients: Choose
a career you love. . . .
Give it the
best there
is in you. . . . Seize
your opportunities. . . .
and be a
member
of the team. -Benjamin F.
Fairless |
| |
| Many of the most
successful people I have known have never grown up. They have
retained bubbling-over childishness. They have relished wit,
they
have indulged in humor. They have not allowed "dignity"
to depress them
into moroseness. Youthfulness of spirit is the
twin brother of optimism,
and optimism is the stuff of which American
business success is fashioned. Resist growing up!
-B.C. Forbes |
|
| Success is
what you do with the ability that you have, how you use your
talent. It doesn't necessarily mean any one thing.
-George
Allen |
| |
| Among
the humble and great alike, those who achieve success do so
not because
fate and circumstance are especially kind to them.
Often the
reverse is true. They succeed because they do not whine
over their
fate but take whatever has been given to them and go on
to make the most
of their best. -Sidney Greenberg |
| |
|
|
| |
| No one
ever attains very eminent success by simply doing
what is required of
him or her; it is the amount and excellence
of what is over and above
the required, that determines
the greatness of ultimate distinction.
-Charles
Kendall Adams |
| |
| The price
of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand,
and the
determination that whether we win or lose,
we have applied the best of
ourselves to the task at hand. -Vince
Lombardi |
| |
| Success
is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of
yourself as a success. -Joyce
Brothers |
| |
| Some succeed
because they are destined to; most succeed because they are
determined to. -Anatole France |
| |
| If hard work is the
key to success,
most people would rather pick the lock.
-Claude McDonald |

Any
definition of a successful life must include serving others.

I can't
imagine a person becoming a success
who doesn't give this game of life
everything he or she has got.
-Walter Cronkite |

Success
isn't measured by the position you reach in life;
it's measured

I owe my success to having listened respectfully
to
the very best advice,
and then going away and doing the exact opposite.
-G.K. Chesterton |

What I
wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best--which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there
is. When I did that success found me.

I must
admit that I personally measure success
in terms of the contributions an individual makes
to her or his fellow human beings. -Margaret

Success
has nothing to do with what you gain
in life or accomplish for yourself.
It's what you do for others. -Danny Thomas |

|
|
I've
never sought success in order
to get fame and money;
it's the talent
and the passion that count in success.
-Ingrid

If
I were to give advice to a young person starting out
in life, I should say to that person: If you aim
for
a large, broad-gauged success, do not begin your
business career, whether you sell your labor or are
and independent producer, with the idea of getting
from
the world by hook or crook all you can. In the
choice
of your profession or your business employment, let
your first thought be: Where can I fit in so
that I may
be most effective in the work of the world?
Where can
I lend a hand in a way most effectively to advance
the general interests? Enter life in such a
spirit,
choose your vocation in that way, and you
have taken the first step on the highest road
to a large success.
-John
D Rockefeller |

Most
people see success as being rich and famous or
powerful and influential. Others see it as
being at the top of their profession and standing
out from the rest.
The wise see success in a more personal
way; they see it as achieving the goals they have
set for themselves, and then feeling pride and
satisfaction in their accomplishments. True
success is felt in the heart, not measured by money
and power.
So be true to yourself and achieve
those goals you set. For success is reaching
those goals and feeling proud of what you have
accomplished. -Tim
Tweedie |

Enthusiasm
is one of the most powerful engines of success.
When you do a thing, do it with all your might. . . .
Be active, be energetic, be enthusiastic and faithful,
and you will accomplish your objective.
-Ralph

To
me, the capacity to earn money has never been a
measurement of success. It is my belief that people must develop a philosophy
early in life which permits them
to have as much pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction now
as is possible without injuring
themselves or others. Money can help to do this, but
it is not and must not become
the sole aim of a person's existence. We all know
what happened to King Midas.
-Rudy

Success
is not measured by how well you fulfill the
expectations of others, but by how honestly you
live up to your own expectations.

Success
is being who you are, and feeling proud of
yourself for every task and challenge that you
face and conquer along the way.
-Deanna

Your
success and happiness lie in you. External
conditions are the accidents
of life, its outer trappings. The great, enduring
realities are love of service.
Joy is the holy fire that keeps our purpose warm and our
intelligence aglow.
Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form
an invincible host against difficulty.
-Helen
Keller |

There
are no secrets of success.
Success
is doing the things you know you should do.
Success is not doing the things you know
you
shouldn’t do. Success is not limited
to any one area of your life.
It encompasses
all the facets of your relationships:
as parent, as wife or husband, as citizen,
neighbor, worker and all of the others.
Success is not confined to any one part
of your personality but is related to
the development of all
the parts:
body, mind, heart and spirit.
It is making
the most of your total self.

You
will succeed best when you put the restless,
anxious side of affairs out of mind, and allow
the restful side to live in your thoughts.
-Margaret
Stowe |
|
|

If
you give a part
of yourself to life,
the part you receive back
will be so much greater.
Never regret the past, but learn by it.
Never lose sight of your dreams;
a person who can dream
will always have hope.
Believe in yourself; if you do, everyone else will.
You have the ability
to accomplish anything,
but never do it at someone else's expense.
If you can go through life loving others,
you will have achieved
the greatest success of all.
-Judy

People succeed because they believe, not only
that they can and will succeed,
but also that success is worth the price they pay for it.

Attention
to detail is the secret of success in every sphere of life,
and little kindnesses, little acts of consideration, little
appreciations,
little confidences,. . . . they are all that are needed
to keep the friendship sweet.

Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even
to your smallest acts.
This is the secret of success.

Swami Sivananda |

If
you have a good name, if you are right more often than you
are wrong,
if your children respect you, if your grandchildren are glad
to see you,
if your friends can count on you and you can count on them
in time of
trouble, if you can face your God and say “I have done my
best,” then you are a success.
-
Ann Landers |

You
have to define success in your own way.
What maintains
your dignity and integrity and what is your life’s plan;
where do you want to put your efforts?
I could be richer
and more famous, but I would have to give up things
that are of infinitely more value.
-

Until
you have learned to be tolerant with those who
do not always agree with you; until you have cultivated
the habit of saying some kind word of those whom you
do not admire; until you have formed the habit of looking
for the good instead of the bad there is in others,
you will be neither successful nor happy.

Overstraining

Calm strength that arises from a deep and

-Rabindranath

We are
prone to judge success by the index of our salaries or the
size of our automobiles rather than by the quality of our
service
and the relationship to mankind.

You
want to know the biggest illusion about success? That
it's like a
pinnacle to
be climbed, a thing to be possessed, or a static
result to be
achieved. If you want
to succeed, if you want to
achieve all your
outcomes, you have to think of success
as a process,
a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life.
-
Anthony Robbins |

There are two kinds of
success. One is the very rare kind that comes
to the person who has the power to do what no one else has the power to
do.
That is genius. But the average person who wins what we
call success
is not a genius. That person is a man or woman who has merely
the ordinary
qualities that they share with their fellows,
but who has developed those
ordinary qualities to a more
than ordinary degree. -Theodore
Roosevelt |
|

You
cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn't try to be
a tiger, and you shouldn't try to be something you aren't.
You are a process, not a product. Your job is to
discover
what you are and create that creature. You still won't
be
perfect, but success isn't about perfection--it is
about authenticity. You are a success if you are
being your real, authentic self.
