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.
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.
