When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser.

If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
~ Ray Bradbury

~ Johnny Carson
Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts.

Successful people pay more attention to their visions and goals than to history and the opinions of others.

And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.

~ Thomas Alva Edison
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
~ Thomas Alva Edison
To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.
~ Sven Goran Eriksson
The ability to live in the question long enough for genius to emerge is a touchstone of creative success.

You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it there are only alibis.
~ Henry Ford
Don't aim at success - the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run - in the long-run, I say! - success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it.
~ Viktor Frankl
Your ability to act on your imagination is going to be so decisive in driving your future and the standard of living in your country. So the school, the state, the country that empowers, nurtures, enables imagination among its students and citizens, that's who's going to be the winner.

The elevator to success is out of order. You'll have to use the stairs...one step at a time.
~ Joe Girard
We know not where our dreams will take us, but we can probably see quite clearly where we'll go without them.

No-one gets an iron-clad guarantee of success. Certainly, factors like opportunity, luck and timing are important. But the backbone of success is usually found in old-fashioned, basic concepts like hard work, determination, good planning and perseverance.
~ Mia Hamm
Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful.
~ Mark Victor Hansen

~ Abraham-Hicks
All achievements, all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.
~ Napoleon Hill
When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve

I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games; 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
~ Michael Jordan

The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.

There's a word for a writer who never gives up: published.

Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you derive from what you do.
~ Michael Korda
Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
~ Reggie Leach
Success is how you collect your minutes. You spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. If you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? It doesn’t equate… Life is made of small pleasures. Good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. A moment of touching a friend. Happiness is made of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. If you don’t have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don’t mean anything.
~ Norman Lear
Three keys to success: read, read, read.
~ Vladimir Lenin
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.
~ Maxwell Maltz
The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous. On the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind. Failure makes people bitter and cruel.
~ Somerset Maugham
As you experience success in applying kaizen to clear goals like weight loss or career advancement, remember to hold onto its essence: an optimistic belief in our potential for continuous improvement.
~ Robert Maurer
My will shall shape my future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force: I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice, my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.
~ Elaine Maxwell
All progress occurs because people dare to be different.
~ Harry Milner

In order to be a success in business, there is one thing you must do. You cannot be successful without it. That is WORK. I have not told you anything new.

That is something no one can give you. You must acquire it yourself, and the only way that you can become enthusiastic about anything is to have a thorough KNOWLEDGE of it. You have never seen an enthusiastic man who was lazy.

You will triumph.
