Achievement is not about ‘doing something.’ Rather, it’s about ‘being someone.

The 'goal' is the journey done well.

Even if yesterday was wildly successful, I still don’t want to repeat it. Rather, I want to build on it.

The cost of success is that I must be willing to fail far more times than I succeed, which is why so few of us are successful.

Without hesitation, I can tell you that it wasn’t the ability to get it right that got me here. Rather, it was the ability to learn every time that I got it wrong.

The road to success is paved with the hot asphalt of failure.

It’s not the specter of aging that haunts me. Rather, it’s the far greater fear of having aged and having nothing to show for the aging.
