                              What is success?	
To laugh often and love much.
To win the respect of teachers, 	
and affection of children.	
To earn the approval of honest people,
To endure the betrayal of false friends,
To enjoy beauty, to find the best in others,
To give of oneself without the slightest,	
thought of return.	
To have accomplished a job:	
whether a healthy child, a rescued soul,	
a garden patch, or corrected social condition.
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm,	
and sung with feeling.	
To know that even one life has breathed easier,	
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.	
Success — if it is to be — it is up to me!

   —Edward Rickenbacker
The secret of success is to be like a duck — 
smooth and unruffled on top —
but paddling furiously underneath.
He who wants milk should not sit himself in the 
middle of a pasture waiting for a cow to back up to 
him.
Don't wait for your ship to come in — 
swim out after it.
People don’t plan to fail; they just fail to plan.
If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a 
great way.    —Martin Luther King	
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 overcome while 
trying to succeed. 
Booker T. Washington
In order to succeed, you 
must know what you are 
doing, like what you are 
doing, and believe in 
what you are doing. 
 —Will Rogers
Success is a "journey," 
not a "destination."     
Happiness is to be found along the way, not at the 
end of the road— for then the journey is over and it 
is too late.
Success is determined not by whether or not you 
face problems, but by your reaction to them.  And if 
you look at these problems as a fence, they become 
your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a 
hurdles to jump, each one strengthen you for the 
next.    —Ben Carson
Your life is a printout of your thoughts. —Maraboli
