Success
“I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.” ~ Steve Jobs
“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” ~ Steve Jobs
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.” ~ Calvin Coolidge
“Success and rest don’t sleep together.” ~ Russian proverb
“Successful people make their decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. Failures make their decisions slowly and change their minds quickly. My decisions come quickly, and they lead to victory.” ~ Andy Andrews
“Seek wisdom. Wisdom waits to be gathered. She cannot be bartered or sold. She is a fight for the diligent. And only the diligent will find her. The lazy man – the stupid man - never even looks. Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. Seek wisdom. Find her, and you will find success and contentment.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift
“The words It’s not my fault! should never again come from your mouth. The words It’s not my fault! have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Eve took her first bite of the apple.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift
“The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former.” ~ Alfred Montapert
“Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven’t planted” ~ David Bly
“We’ve all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it’s more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale
“Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.” ~ Joe Paterno
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” ~ Maya Angelou
“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” – Bill Gates
“The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them.” ~ Og Mandino
“Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” ~ Og Mandino
