There are two kinds of success. One is the very rare kind that comes to the person who
has the power to do what no one else has the power to do. That is genius. But the
average person who wins what we call success is not a genius. That person is a man or
woman who has merely the ordinary qualities that they share with their fellows, but who
has developed those ordinary qualities to a more than ordinary degree. -Theodore
Roosevelt

You want to know the biggest illusion about success? That it's like a pinnacle to be
climbed, a thing to be possessed, or a static result to be achieved. If you want to
succeed, if you want to achieve all your outcomes, you have to think of success as a
process, a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life. -Anthony Robbins

People succeed because they believe, not only that they can and will succeed, but also
that success is worth the price they pay for it. -Tom Hopkins

honestly you live up to your own expectations. - Linda Principe

Joyce Brothers

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand,and the determination
that whether we win or lose,we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. -
Vince Lombardi

Some succeed because they are destined to; most succeed because they are determined
to. - Anatole France

Experience tells you what to do; confidence allows you to do it. - Stan Smith
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and
make a brand new ending.
