It is clear as crystal that everybody wants to be successful, no matter how you define it. Because we all strive for success in our endeavors. And many of us are determined to achieve greatness. However, when most of us think of success we usually think of material benefits, happiness, and accomplishment. Certainly, success can include all of these things and more.
With
these things in mind, I have compiled a list of 20 best quotes about success so
you can view success from different angles.
1.
“I know the price of success: dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion
to the things you want to see happen.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
2.
“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that
life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98
and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”
Dr. Seuss
3.
“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo.
What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of
falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us,
it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
Milan Kundera
4.
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live
on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full
of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to
success.”
Swami Vivekananda
5.
"Success? I don't know what that word means. I'm happy. But success, that
goes back to what in somebody's eyes success means. For me, success is inner
peace. That's a good day for me."
Denzel Washington
6.
“I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that
one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while
trying to succeed.”
Booker T.
Washington
7. “What is success? I think it is a mixture
of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not
enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.”
Margaret Thatcher
8.
“Success means doing the best we can with what we have. 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.”
Zig Ziglar
9.
“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
10.
“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become
the person you believe you were meant to be.”
George Sheehan
11.
“People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to
succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is
failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a
self-fulfilling prophecy.”
Tony Robbins
12.
“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple,
really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy
of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can
learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because
remember that's where you will find success.”
Thomas J. Watson
13.
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26
times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed
over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan
14.
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do
it.”
Maya Angelou
15. “Success doesn’t necessarily come from
breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone
won’t win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.”
Naveen Jain
16. “Don’t wait until everything is just
right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and
less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you
take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more
self-confident and more and more successful.”
Mark Victor Hansen
17
“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of
strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.”
Vince Lombardi Jr.
18.
“Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are
afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now.
Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier
to procrastinate and live on the ‘someday I’ll’ philosophy.”
Denis Waitley
19.
“Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don't
wish it were easier; wish you were better.”
Jim Rohn
20.
“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
