What's in it for Me?

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, "What's in it for me?"

Men Admire

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

John Steinbeck

Learn Valuable Information

Use reframing to stop thinking of your mistakes as failures. They can be more accurately described as opportunities for learning—people generally learn more from mistakes than they learn from successes. With each mistake, you can learn valuable information that can be used for future success.

Creating mutually beneficial relationships with other people is not only important for our social well-being but also for any kind of success we seek to achieve. It is by giving and taking that we open these doors to new, and sometimes unexpected, great opportunities.

Success or Failure

Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity. Successful people act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly and you will be amazed at the positive result.

- Dupree Jordan

Line Between Failure and Success

The line between failure and success is so fine that we . . . are often
on the line and do not know it. How many a person has thrown up
his or her hands at a time when a little more effort,
a little more patience, would have achieved success.
A little more persistence, a little more effort,
and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

- Elbert Hubbard

What Success Means

To really know what success means, earn it,
Don't reply on some elevatorto get you there.
The higher the floor you want to reach,
the more important it is to take the stairs
The easiest lessons to remember
are the ones you learn the hard way!
Appreciate the little things
that make each day unique and special.

It is not the height of skill but
the depth of CONVICTION will make you successful
It is no the depth of the logic but
the height of ATTITUDE will make you successful.

"The measure of achievement is not winning awards.
It's doing something that you appreciate,
something you believe is worthwhile.
I think of my strawberry souffle.
I did that at least twenty-eight times before I finally conquered it."

- Julia Child

Opposition You Have Encountered

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

- Orison Swett Marden

Success

Your Success is defined only by you and not by others.
It is about being satisfied with yorself,
You are successful only when you feel successful,
Not when others feel that way.
So, Impress Yourself!

To Have or Have Not

Have you ever wondered why some people have successful lives, whilst others live out theirs in complete failure?

There's a single ingredient that separates those who 'have' success in life from those who 'have not', and that element is how they harness their personal power. Those who use their power will take their dreams and make them come true. They're courageous in their drive and will take immediate, repeated action, and will never give up until they can live their greatest ambitions.

Courage/Succuss Inspired

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never know either victory or defeat."

Teddy Roosevelt

Will You Deny Yourself

I believe a little bit of success lies in everyone! Will you be the one to deny that? Or rather be the one who chooses to be guided by it? I hope you choose as I to do the latter!

- Josh S. Hinds

One Life

To share often and much . . . . To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded.


- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Failure Will Lead to Success

Learn from failure and then courageously start again. This will lead you to success.
