“Being sick successfully is not included in society’s panoply of worthy goals.”

“Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.”

“Knowledge is important, but understanding is everything.”

“You got to insist on your success, resist every obstacle and persist in times of difficulty and you will get there.”

“Gloating is a superficial glowing, floating is an idle flowing, and bloatedness is the paralysis of blowing up; because silent movement results in loud victories.”

“Success needs vision to see, passion to transcend, patience to withstand and the character to overcome failures.”

“If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them, because as you hold your candle away from you — envy, jealousy, and resentment may put out your flame before it grows.”

“The tower of success stands on the pillars of vision, action, patience and the character to withstand criticisms.”

“Be a person that others will look for your posts daily because they know you will encourage them. Be the positive one and help others to have a great day and you will find that not only they like you but you will like you too.”

“No matter how you define success, you will need to be resilient, empowered, authentic, and limber to get there.”

“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.”

“Winners were not born winners; they learnt and practiced how to win and they have it! Everyone who gives a great testimony about his/her life begins with a beginning that was “inadequate” until something happened… an a breakthrough became evident!”

“As a child, at the age when others promise to be Chateaubriand or nothing, I had written that I would be myself or nothing. I had certainly not foreseen that one day I would find myself in the position of being both myself and nothing. 65”

“I was free with every road as my home. No limitations and no commitments. But then summer passed and winter came and I fell short for safety. I fell for its spell, slowly humming me to sleep, because I was tired and small, too weak to take or handle those opinions and views, attacking me from every angle. Against my art, against my self, against my very way of living. I collected my thoughts, my few possessions and built isolated walls around my values and character. I protected my own definition of beauty and success like a treasure at the bottom of the sea, for no one saw what I saw, or felt the same as I did, and so I wanted to keep to myself. You hide to protect yourself.”

“Small shifts in your thinking, and small changes in your energy, can lead to massive alterations of your end result.”
