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.
Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you desire from what you do. If you are in a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out.
Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility… in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have… is the ability to take on responsibility.
This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can’t be happy as a success, it’s very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.
Never walk away from failure. On the contrary, study it carefully and imaginatively for its hidden assets.
The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you’re playing by somebody else’s rules, while quietly playing by your own.
The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
