Don’t
shoot for something unattainable – completely outside Always bear in mind that your own resolution to
succeed is more important than any one
thing. It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed
is possible only in one way. Man is
not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed, but not defeated. You learn as much from those who have failed as from
those who have succeeded. The road to success is lined with many tempting
parking spaces. If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks
good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at
all.
You
can make goals for family, relationships, anything. To succeed, you need to take that gut feeling in what
you believe and act on it with all of your heart. Real success is finding your lifework in the work that
you love. Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er
succeed. I owe my success to having listened respectfully to
the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite. You
owe it to yourself to find your own unorthodox way of succeeding, or
sometimes, just surviving. To freely bloom - that is my definition of success. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be
looking for it.
From success to failure is one step; from failure to
success is a long road. Try not to become a man of success but rather to
become a man of value.
(Natural Talent + Opportunity) Hard Work = Success There
are defeats more triumphant than victories. It is
clearly not the journey for everyone. People succeed in as many ways as
there are people. Some can be completely fulfilled with destinations that
are much closer to home and more comfortable. But if you long to keep going,
then I hope you are able to follow my lead to the places I have gone. To
within a whisper of your own personal perfection. To places that are sweeter
because you worked so hard to arrive there. To places at the very edge of
your dreams.
