The secret of suce
learning how to use pain and
pleasure instead of having pain
and pleasure use you. If you do
that, you are in control of your
life. If you don't, life controls you.
Success is measured in terms of reaching
your goals, dreams, and
expectations. Your success is
determined by hard work,
persistence, and determination. If you
are going to be a success in life it's all up
to you... .it's your responsibility.
You have to find something thatz
you love enough to be able to take
risks, jump over the hurdles and
break though the brick walls that are
always going to be placed in front of
you. If you don't have that kind of
feeling for what it is you are doing,
you'll stop at the first giant hurdle.
If I had to select one quality and
one personal characteristic that I
regard as being most highly
correlated with success, whatever
the field, I would pick persistence
and determination. The will to
endure to the end, to get knocked
down seventy times and
get up off the floor saying,
"Here comes number seventy one".
I do not think there is any other
quality so essential to success of
any kind as the quality of perseverance.
It overcomes almost
everything, even nature
I am not judged by the number
of times I fail, but the number
of times I succeed, and the number
of times I succeed is a direct proportion
to the number of times I
fail and keep trying.
Allow yourself to dream and
fantasize about your ideal life;
what it would look like, and what
it would feel like. Then do
something everyday to make it a
reality!
People become really quite
remarkable when they start thinking
that they can do things. When
they believe in themselves, they
have the first secret of success.
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things if
the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winters evening.
Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect
them; they nurse them through bad days until they bring them to the
sunshine and the light that always comes to those who sincerely hope thai
their dreams will come true.
Some men give up their designs when
they have almost reached their goal,
while others obtain a victory by exerting,
at the last moment, more
vigorous efforts than ever before.
Fear is met and destroyed with
courage. Again and again when the
struggle seems hopeless and all
opportunity lost, the one with a
little more courage, and a little more
effort will have victory.
To me, a winner is someone who
recognizes their God-given talents, works
his tail off to develop them into skills, and
uses those skills to accomplish his goals.
Even when I lost, I learned what my
weaknesses were and I went out the next
day to turn those weaknesses into
strengths.
Having conceived of his purpose, a
man should mentally mark out a
straight pathway to its achievement,
looking neither to the right
or to the left, but straight.
Winning is not a "sometime"
thing. You don't win once in a
awhile, you don't do things right
once in awhile, you do them right
all of the time. Winning is a habit,
unfortunately, so is losing
