success

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

Ingrid Bergman

 

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 Waldo Emerson

  

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 Vallee

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

Linda Principe

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 Beisser

 
 

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

 
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 LeSage

   
 

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

  
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.

Tom Hopkins
 

 

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.

Hugh Black

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.

Wilferd A. Peterson

  

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.

Laura Schlessinger

  

   
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.

Napoleon Hill

Overstraining is the enemy of accomplishment.
Calm strength that arises from a deep and
inexhaustible source is what brings success.

Rabindranath Tagore

   

The Nature of Success

  

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.

Bernie Siegel

   

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