To succeed... you need to find something to hold on to,
something to motivate you, something to inspire you. To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is
and rise above it. The formula for success is simple: practice and
concentration then more practice and more concentration. The ladder of success is never crowded at the top. To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of
those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment. You win only if you aren't afraid to lose. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for
anything. There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's
lack of faith in his true Self. No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move.
Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward. Failure is an event, never a person. Failure is the tuition you pay for success. Failure does not count. If you accept this, you'll be
successful. What causes most people to fail is that after one failure, they'll stop
trying. I have always felt that although someone may defeat me,
and I strike out in a ball game, the pitcher on the particular day was the best player.
But I know when I see him again, I'm going to be ready for his curve ball. Failure is a
part of success. There is no such thing as a bed of roses all your life. But failure will
never stand in the way of success if you learn from it. To begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of
those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment. You win only if you aren't afraid to lose. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for
anything. No one ever won a chess game by betting on each move.
Sometimes you have to move backward to get a step forward. Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it.
We learn only from failure. Failure is an event, never a person. Failure is the tuition you pay for success. Failure does not count. If you accept this, you'll be
successful. What causes most people to fail is that after one failure, they'll stop
trying. Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who
have the habit of making excuses. You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by
staying there. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising
every time we fall. You are beaten to earth? Well, well, what's that? Come up
with a smiling face, It's nothing against you to fall down flat/ But to lie there-that's a
disgrace. To expect defeat is nine-tenths of defeat itself. Not failure, but low aim, is crime. Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key
to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. If at first you don't succeed; you are running about
average. Success is peace of mind, a direct result of
self-satisfaction in knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are
capable of becoming, and not just in a physical way: seek ye first the kingdom and His
righteousness and all these things will be yours as well. The formula for success is simple: practice and
concentration then more practice and more concentration. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you
have. The successful person is the individual who forms the
habit of doing what the failing person doesnt like to do. The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our
planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system
under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of
our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million
dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any
good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world. I think that at some point in your life you realize you
don't have to worry if you do everything you're supposed to do right. Or if not right, if
you do it the best you can... what can worry do for you? You are already doing the best
you can. Success is like war and like charity in religion, it
covers a multitude of sins. Successful people are not gifted; they just work hard,
then succeed on purpose. We can help others in the world more by making the most of
yourself than in any other way. Success lies in the process of accomplishing a worthwhile
goal. Every successful man I have heard of has done the best he
could with conditions as he found them... 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, a garden patch or a redeemed
social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This
is to have succeeded. You don't pay the price for success. You enjoy the price
for success. Dictionary is the only place that success comes before
work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything
if you're willing to pay the price. He who would search for pearls must dive below. |
