ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS
There is no shortage of opportunity. Everyday you’re presented with countless opportunities to be, or do whatever you desire.
Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. Don’t miss out on an opportunity because you’re not prepared.
Your preparation is absolutely essential. To achieve success, you must have self discipline. You must increase your knowledge and develop your skills.
You’re always at the right place at the right time when you’re prepared.
Each one will make you stronger, even though it may be hard for you to realize it at the time.
Life is your classroom in which you’re being tested, tried, and passed.
Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity. Don’t isolate yourself from the action. Your character develops itself in the stream of life.
The setbacks and hardships you endure actually help you in your march forward to success. The world was built to develop your character.
But, life expects you to make progress in reasonable time. That’s why those third grade school chairs are so small.
No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.
You must choose the thoughts and actions that will lead you on to success.
You must set your own standards.
Nothing meaningful happens by itself.
It will all come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own efforts.
Only you can hold yourself back, or stand in your own way. Only you can help yourself.
Not in time, place or circumstances, but in you lies success.
TRUE SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOUR ENJOYMENT
You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you’re doing.
What you do is more important than how much money you make. How you feel about what you do is more important than what you do.
The more you love what you’re doing, the more successful it will be for you. Don’t set compensation as your goal.
Find the work you like and the compensation will follow.
You don’t pay the price of success, you enjoy the price of success.
YOUR SUCCESS DEPENDS ON USING NOT OPPOSING
The world is primarily constituted on the basis of harmony. Everything works in cooperation with something else.
Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.
Put yourself in another’s place. Only then will you know why they think and do certain things. Once you understand how quickly people will grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self interest, you can have practically anything you go after.
It’s through coopereation not conflict, that you’ll achieve your greatest success.
YOU’RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF YOU
You’re the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.
While your character is formed by circumstances, your own desires can do much to shape those circumstances. Thus, you have the power over the formation of your own character.
Nature is always at work around you. Your character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. You have the power to choose which impulse you will follow.
You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life. No one can EVER take that away from you. The greatest power you possess is the power to choose.
You’re the master of your joys and your sorrows.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances. You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
It’s how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.
Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.
With practice you’ll come to a point of competence.
You’ll find yourself accomplishing your goals gracefully and confidently.
It’s then that you’ll do things that you never dreamed you could do.
You’ll discover powers you never knew existed. If you’re prepared, you’re able to feel confident.
There can be no great courage when there is no confidence or assurance.
Half the battle is in the conviction that you can accomplish what you undertake.
Confidence doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s the result of constant work and dedication.
You can do anything in this world you want to do, but you must want to do it badly enough.
You really can have everything you want, if you go after it. You have to want it.
The first ingredient of success is desire. Do you know what you want? Your desire is the planting of your seed.
Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it’s the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake in the morning, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.
You can be whatever you make up your mind to be. What’s in your mind is all that counts.
Your success in any occupation depends on your enjoyment.
Loving your work makes the difference. If you enjoy what you do, you’ll be successful.
If you don’t enjoy what you do, you won’t be successful.
Your chances for success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.
If you have a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out. You’ll never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.
Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind, enjoyment, and happiness which comes only when you find the work that you like best.
You don’t pay the price for success. You enjoy the price for success.
Work is love made visible.
