Dear Vijay,
Kudos for such a fantabulous post.
Here are a few inputs from my end.
“If you have a good name, if you are more often right than you
are wrong, if your children respect you, if your grandchildren are
glad to see you, if your friends can count on you and you can
count on them in time of trouble, if you can face God and say “I
have done my best,” then you are a success.”
“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think
not about your frustrations, but about your unfilled potential.
Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with
what it is still possible for you to do.”
“If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase: The
past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all
day today; or a moment ago; or for the last six months; the last
sixteen years; or the last fifty years of life, doesn’t mean anything...
All that matters is: What are you going to do, right now?”
“I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and
unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.”
“For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why
not? Why not me? Why not now?”
“Thirteen virtues necessary for true success: temperance, silence,
order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation,
cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, and humility.”
“Sweat plus sacrifice equals success.”
“The only certain means of success is to render more and better
service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may
be.”
“The vision to see, the faith to believe, and the will to do will take
you anywhere you want to go.”
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest
critics and endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate
beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better
whether by a healthy child, or a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
“Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of selfsatisfaction
in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”
“Not in time, place, or circumstance, but in the man lies success.”
“What is the recipe for successful achievement? To my mind
there are just four essential ingredients: Choose a career you
love, give it the best there is in you, seize your opportunities, and
be a member of the team.”
“Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even to your smallest
acts. That is the secret to success.”
“The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the
most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is
success, and there is no other.”
“To be successful, the first thing to do is to fall in love with your
work.”
“Success is that old ABC – ability, breaks, and courage.”
“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never
achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to
be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”
“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.”
“Success consists in the climb.”
“The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the
most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is
success, and there is no other.”
“There are countless ways of achieving greatness, but any road to
achieving one’s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of
respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a
rejection of mediocrity.”
“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.”
“High achievers spot rich opportunities swiftly, make big decisions
quickly and move into action immediately. Follow these principles
and you can make your dreams come true.”
“Patience and tenacity of purpose are worth more than twice
their weight of cleverness.”
“Success is living up to your potential. That’s all. Wake up with a
smile and go after life... Live it, enjoy it, taste it, smell it, feel it.”
“Give the world the best you have, and the best will come to
you.”
“If everything seems to be under control, you’re just not going
fast enough.”
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
“Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.”
“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that will be happy to live
with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny;
inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.”
“Winning isn’t everything. Wanting to win is.”
“Accept the challenges, so you may feel the exhilaration of
victory.”
“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
“The ambitious climbs high and perilous stairs and never cares
how long to come down; the desire of rising hath swallowed up
his fear of a fall.”
“Cherish your vision and your dreams as they are the children of
your soul; the blue prints of your ultimate achievements.”
“If man hasn’t discovered that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”
Best Regards
Daksh
