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.
Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success.
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
If you believe in what you're doing, you'll be successful.
The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore.
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.
We can each define ambition and progress for ourselves. The goal is to work toward a world where expectations are not set by the stereotypes that hold us back, but by our personal passion, talents and interests.
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Please don't settle for happiness. It's not good enough. Of course you deserve it, but if that's all you have in mind - happiness - I want to suggest to you that personal success devoid of meaningfulness, free of a steady commitment to social justice - that's more than a barren life. It's a trivial one.
One of the methods of manipulation is to inoculate individuals with the bourgeois appetite for personal success.
I don’t have a problem with someone using their talents to become successful, I just don’t think the highest calling is success. Things like freedom and the expansion of knowledge are beyond success, beyond the personal. Personal success is not wrong, but it is limited in importance, and once you have enough of it it is a shame to keep striving for that, instead of for truth, beauty, or justice.
I believe the American dream is still alive and that education and entrepreneurship together are its key enablers. Through the years I have observed the power of this combination when the two forces work in tandem. Together they lead to personal success, business success, and societal success.
The Human tendency, largely driven by ego, is to believe we can do it all....It maybe humbling to admit there are only a few things you do really well...you will free yourself to focus on those things which will lead to greater personal success and significance.
My personal success would be that people understand what I was trying to do. It was the most palatable when I watchmen_7_mdid Dawn. With Watchmen, too, I feel the same way. The movie's ironic and satirical and it's funny and serious and that's kind of the same way I felt about Dawn. Like I really was making a movie that knows it's a zombie movie and enjoys that and wants the audience to say, yeah, that's okay.
