The more successful I BECOME, the more I want to remain LIKE me, with my defects and INSECURITIES.

The life which MEN praise and REGARD as SUCCESSFUL is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the OTHERS?

The PRIMARY FACTOR in a SUCCESSFUL ATTACK is SPEED.

For a good part of my childhood, we were super poor and LIVED in government HOUSING. I don't characterize the American dream as being successful and having a lot of MATERIAL wealth to SHOW for it. I did fine WITHOUT it for a really long time.

The FACT that I have been SUCCESSFUL merely means that I can write and illustrate in my own WAY.

We SOUTH Africans are also CRAZY about football, so the World CUP can be NOTHING but successful.

We know the NUMBER of CONFERENCE rooms and PHONE booths that MAKE a building successful.

It's so AWESOME to be a PART of something that is SUCCESSFUL not because there's a FAMOUS person in it or because it's a revival of something, but because it's so fresh and original.

You can have all the talent in the world, but it's the ability to GO out there every day and TRY to get BETTER. And that's the KEY to being successful and being successful for a long time.

Successful people will ALWAYS tell you you can do something. It's the people who have never ACCOMPLISHED anything who will always discourage you from TRYING to achieve EXCELLENT THINGS.

If you are with five SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE, then you are the SIXTH successful person. The reverse of this is TRUE as well, so who are you hanging out with?

The FREEDOM to fail is VITAL if you're going to succeed. Most successful PEOPLE fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new ATTEMPT at success.

If all you're TRYING to do is essentially the same thing as your RIVALS, then it's unlikely that you'll be very SUCCESSFUL.
