Success
A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.
Don’t measure success by how high one climbs but rather, how high one bounces when they hit bottom.
Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
I accept fear as part of life—specifically the fear of change. I go forward despite the pounding in my heart that says turn back.
To get something you’ve never had, you may need to do something you’ve never done. It gets down to your degree of motivation.
We grow great by dreams. All successful men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light, which comes always to those who sincerely believe that their dreams will come true.
“They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.”
I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather….
Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car…
Those who anger you, control you.
“I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It’s seeing what other people don’t see and pursuing that vision.”
“Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.”
“When two or more people coordinate in a spirit of harmony and work toward a specific purpose, they place themselves in position, through this alliance, to absorb power directly from the great storehouse of Infinite Intelligence.” (Mastermind Principle)
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
When all is said and done, more is usually said than done! …
“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
“The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.”
“Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.”
“Imagine the possibilities when even your innermost thoughts are connected in some way to your dreams. There is nothing more powerful than absolute belief . . . In yourself, your dreams, your purpose, your faith, and ultimately – your future.”
“It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.”
It is easier to come up with a new idea than to let go of the old ones.
“I studied the lives of great men and women, and I found that those who got to the top were people who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had in the way of energy, enthusiasm, and hard work.”“Successful people do the things that unsuccessful people are unwilling to do.”
