Success...



Success can start when you wake up in the morning to when you fall asleep. If you worked your hardest, loved to your fullest, and made each and every minute count, you succeeded that day. I don’t believe that people have to find success in life; I believe it will find them. When I am doing what I love to do, I am surrounded by the people that I love, and I have led a life to be proud of, success will just come naturally.

"The man who has the largest capacity for work and thought is the man who is bound to succeed." - Henry Ford 
 
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome." - Booker T. Washington

Success

Happiness is a key factor in being successful. Surrounding yourself with positive and care free people will help you on journey to success. By surrounding myself with people who have a positive and care free attitude, this is how I will achieve success.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
                                                                                                                                            -Winston Churchill

Success


Success is living life to the fulliest, and making the best of any situation. Success is being able each your short term and long term goals by putting your whole heart into it, fufilling your potential, living life to the fulliest, having a purpose, and having high positive standards for yourself. Being sucessful is accepting life as it is and making the most of it. Success is not always about what you get or what you think you should get its what you did and the impact that it had on the people around you. Getting the most out of your expeirences in life is what makes you successful. Success does not always come with high praise, success can be things that no one notices but they mean so much to you.

"Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out"-John Wooden

"There is only one success- to be able to spend your life in your own way"- Christopher Morley

Success?

Well, what is success? Success could be a lot of things. Success could be happiness, money, power, a good attitude, etc. Success to me is waking up each morning with something to look forward to. It is not just "going through the motions" each day but rather realizing the notions of life. Sure, a wife who loves you and makes sandwiches for you day in and day out would be nice, but I don't wake up in the morning looking forward to just a sandwich. I look forward to the journey through the day to get to that sandwich.

Kobe Bryant said, "I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant." He looked forward to being who he was and still is today, and that sounds like success to me.

My Success

For a person to find success in life, one will have to find their own way of achieving it. Success for me is being happy, honest, involved and stable. Being happy with myself and others around me is key. The happiness of knowing that I am the best person I can be by giving my best efforts is important. Once my major goals in life have been reached I will know I have succeeded.

Success is what you make it, not what others believe it should be.

My Definition of Success

Success means being happy with what you are doing. You don't have to have loads of cash or fancy things if you are happy with the way your life is going then you being successful. Take your failures in life and make them push you even harder.

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" Winston Churchill

s-u-c-c-e-s-s thats the way you spell success

Everybody has their own way of how they view success. My future of success will consist of being able to recognize a problem and take it head-on, help others through tough times as they will help me, learn and understand the viewpoints of others, and appreciate every day, for it is another chance to change things. Success in life is to make it through each journey, problem, experience, or life changing situation and being able to say, "I regret nothing."

" I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

" Always bear in mind that your own resoulution to succeed is more important than any other."
                                                                                                                                                  -Abraham Lincoln


My Definition of Success

Success is wanting to always better yourself and being able to sacrifice for a greater purpose even though you know you might not succeed every time, but you do it anyway. If you are happy with where you are at in life, what you have and the effort you put into everything, then you are successful.

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

Success

Success is doing what you believe in and being happy about it. It's waking up every morning and not regretting the previous day. It's finding what you love to do and doing it, without worrying about money. Success cannot be rushed. You can work hard for it, but patience is crucial. Don't do your best to be successful. Do your best to do your best, and you will have success.

" What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." - Bob Dylan

Success

Success is being happy with everything you have in your life and striving to achieve the things you want to accomplish. Don't let the opinion of others stop you from getting where you want to be.

“Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.”  Abraham Lincoln

Defining Success

My Definition of Success: Success is being able to end each day knowing that you have accomplished something great and worked the hardest you can to make the most of every opportunity.  Success is being happy with who you are and your place in life, and knowing how to inspire this same attitude in others.
 
My Success Quote: Thomas Edison said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

What success means to me

To me success is striving for something important and knowing that you put your best effort into it. To know that you are success full is to feel happy with what you have accomplished in your life.

My favorite quote about success is:
"Our greatest glory is not is never failing, but it is rising up every time we fail"-Ralph Waldo Emerson

My Definition of Success

Success is the feeling you get when you have finished something well that you have previously failed at. You have a feeling of happiness and pride that you have succeeded in overcoming an obstacle.

"In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." - Bill Cosby
Success means achieving the things that you want to do in life. It is growing and improving to become better each day, and to never lose enthusiasm if you fail at something.

"Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming." - John Wooden
People are successful when they are happy with their life. Dreamers are happy because they truly believe that things can only get better, and they keep a work ethic to make it happen.

"All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect and then they work everyday toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose." -Brian Tracy
For myself, I will know I'm successful when I have a complete feeling of inner peace and other people's opinions are less important to me. If at the end of the day I can go home and feel happy and know I've stayed true to myself I will be successful.

"Self acceptance leads to success, not the other way around."

My definition of success

Success means living life with a greater purpose.  If you are successful, you have done all you can, met challenges head on, and can walk away from a failure with the same pride you have walking away from a great victory.  Living with greater purpose leads to greater happiness.

One of my favorite quotes that relates to success is:
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.” – Howard Thurman
