Success Is Going From Failure To Failure

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them.
They went out and happened to things.

(Leonardo da Vinci)

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.
(Francis Chan)

To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents.
What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared or unqualified for that which could have been their finest hour.

(Winston Churchill)

When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity.
You cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others.

(Robert Greene)





Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury.. To me these have always been contemptible.
I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind. 

(Albert Einstein)


There are no secrets to success.. Don’t waste time looking for them.
Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.

(Colin Powell)

I was taught to strive.. not because there were any guarantees of success.. but because the act of striving is in itself the only way to keep faith with life. 
(Madeleine Albright)

When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail.. and both are equally important.
(Ellen DeGeneres)

Success is the doing, not the getting.. In the trying, not the triumph.
Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.

If we do our best, we are a success.

(Zig Ziglar)

It is a common condition of being poor.. you are always afraid that the good things in your life are temporary.. that someone can take them away.. because you have no power beyond your own brute strength to stop them. 
(Rick Bragg)

Don’t worry about being effective.. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.
(Dorothy Day)

 You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
(Vernon Howard)
