Sometimes, a little help or advice from those who have achieved success works wonders for us. It gives us added confidence to know that those who have gone before us were also like us when they started. It shows that if they can do it, we can do it too.
Here are more quotes and pointers from successful people. Watch out for the rest of the series.
Do More – No student ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction. - Charles Kendall Adams
Do What You Love – I'm convinced that business success in the future starts with the question, ‘What should I do with my life?’ Yes, that's right… People don't succeed by migrating to a "hot" industry (one word: dotcom) or by adopting a particular career-guiding mantra (remember "horizontal careers"?). They thrive by focusing on the question of who they really are – and connecting that to work that they truly love (and, in so doing, unleashing a productive and creative power that they never imagined). - Po Bronson
I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. - Oprah Winfrey
Don’t Aim at Success – The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue ... as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a course greater than oneself. - Viktor Frankl
Don’t be Afraid to Fail – Successful people are not afraid to fail. They have the ability to accept their failures and continue on, knowing that failure is a natural consequence of trying. The law of failure is one of the most powerful of all the success laws because you only really fail when you quit trying. - Unknown
The freedom to fail is vital if you’re going to succeed. Most successful men fail time and time again, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success. - Michael Korda
Don’t Give Up – I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this (show) business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply did not give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you. - Harrison Ford
Don’t Quit – Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown. - H. Ross Perot
