ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
You can respond positively or negatively to any situation.
Your attitude is not determined by circumstances, but by how you respond to your circumstances.
Any challenge facing you is not as important as your attitude towards it, for that will determine your success or failure.
It’s how you react to events, not the events themselves, that determines your attitude.
THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS
The truly successful person doesn’t use others, other people use them.
If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.
Service to others is the essence of success.
No one achieves success without being of service.
All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.
Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.
ALL GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TAKES TIME
“Keep trying” is the rule that must be followed to be successful at anything.
Your success will always be connected with your actions. Just keep moving towards your goal.
You’ll make mistakes but don’t ever quit. You may even have to hang on after others have let go.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal. In the end, the only people who fail are those that do not try.
Your future is a big adventure. Just remember, all great achievement takes time.
YOU CAN BE A WINNER IF YOU PLAN AHEAD
You gain the advantage in any situation through one medium: time
You can do things before they need to be done. You can position yourself ahead of time in the best place.
Think ahead of any approaching action. Make a plan and you will always have the advantage.
Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning. The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.
In life, as in chess, forethought wins.
EVERY FAILURE IS A STEP CLOSER TO SUCCESS
People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful. Each defeat is merely an installment to victory.
You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying. You won’t be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.
Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.
You can’t be a winner and be afraid to lose.
YOUR SUCCESS IS A MATTER OF EXPECTATION
You must first expect to succeed if you want to succeed. When you expect good things to happen, strangely enough, they will happen.
Expectation energizes your goals and gives them momentum.
Your life will always respond to your outlook, so set your goals high.
The dreams you choose to believe in will come to be.
You can’t expect to succeed beyond your wildest expectations unless you begin with some pretty wild expectations.
IT’S NEVER OVER UNTIL IT’S OVER
The power to hold on in spite of everything, to endure, this is the quality of a winner. Your greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time you fail.
It’s your constant and determined effort that will eventually break down all resistance and sweep away all the barriers before you.
Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach your goal.
All great achievements require time. Endurance is the crowning quality of success.
BE PREPARED WHEN OPPORTUNITY COMES
Luck is the time when preparation and opportunity meet. When you’re prepared, your chance for success will come. You can change chance into good fortune if you’re ready.
By the law of periodical repetition, everything which as happened once must happen again and again and again. Not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in it’s own period, and each obeying it’s own law.
There is a tide in your affairs, when taken at the flood, that will lead you on to fortune. As events tend to repeat themselves, the tide of opportunity will come to you.
The only sure thing about luck is that it will change.
EIGHTY PERCENT OF SUCCESS IS SHOWING UP
When you’re sure you’re on the right road to success you don’t have to plan your journey too far ahead. Don’t burden yourself with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar your progress.
You don’t need to know all your answers in advance. Just have a clear idea of the goal you want to reach. You can only take one step at a time.
Once you muster up the courage to begin, you’ll find the courage to succeed. It’s the job you never start that always takes the longest to finish.
You can have all that you desire if you ACT on your dreams.
NEVER SAY NEVER
There is no such thing as no chance. Don’t think about the things you can’t do. Think about the things you can do.
No matter what the level of your ability is, you have more potential than you can ever develop in a lifetime.
You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations to what you can do except the limitations of your own mind.
Your range of available choices right now is limitless. Look at things as they can be.
