Persistence is a necessary ingredient for success.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Persistence is a characteristic to which success invariably surrenders.

Our levels of desire, patience, persistence, and confidence end up playing a much larger role in success than sheer reasoning powers.

Hard Work and Commitment

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard.

One key to success is demanding more than adequacy, never settling for good enough and always doing a little bit more.

Success rests not only on ability, but upon commitment, loyalty, and pride.

It's been said that commitment is another name for success.

Commitments present themselves in delineations of black and white. You either honor your commitments or you don't. Success is the result of making and keeping commitments to your self and others, while all failed or unfinished goals, projects and relationships are the direct result of broken commitments. It's that simple, that profound, and that important.

Success comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration, and inspiration!

Almost by force of habit, successful people simply do more. As a result, they experience not only greater financial rewards for their extra efforts but also a personal transformation, becoming more self-confident, more self-reliant, and more influential with those around them.

Learning from Failure

Adversities define what you're made of. Success is you're reward for overcoming them

Let failuers be your reason to strengthen your determination and passion to succeed.

Show me a person with great pain and many failures and I’ll show you a very successful person.” – James D. Wilson

Through persistence numerous individuals win accomplishment out of what appeared bound to be sure disappointment.

If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to draw dividends from defeat.

Success for the striven washes away the effort of striving.

Reward excellent failures. Punish mediocre successes.

Success breeds pride and vanity. And pride is the only reward of success.

In summary, people who believe in fixed traits feel an urgency to succeed, and when they do, they may feel more than pride. They may feel a sense of superiority, since success means that their fixed traits are better than other people’s. However, lurking behind that self-esteem of the fixed mindset is a simple question: If you’re somebody when you’re successful, what are you when you’re unsuccessful?

That is why the key to long-lasting success is to develop habits – new, positive habits that replace our self-defeating behaviors.

Mindset and Attitude

Havingness is not a problem of doingness but a problem of willingness! And hence: success is not a result but a mindset.

Success is a path of setbacks, passion, purpose and inner strength

Success and failure are largely the results of our habitual thoughts & many people create by default. — Marie Cunningham

Success is driven by passion.

There is one factor that creates a difference to your success.That factor is called level of Motivation.

Self-affirmation is the line drawn between success and failure

Positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in all circumstances. Success attracts more success while failure attracts more failure.

It is certain that success naturally confirms in us a favourable opinion of our own abilities. Scarce any man is willing to allot to accident, friendship, and a thousand causes, which concur in every event without human contrivance or interposition, the part which they may justly claim in his advancement. We rate ourselves by our fortune rather than our virtues, and exorbitant claims are quickly produced by imaginary merit.

Effort is the siamese twin of success.

When you are successful you naturally feel more at home.

Research indicates that the desire to achieve the skills associated with success is more highly correlated with achievement than the desire for success itself.

The reality for those in the successful inner circle is simply “the mundanity of excellence”: a smoothly applied routine of using finely tuned resources with the confidence that one knows how to make them pay off. To those in the outer tiers, even those in the second competitive rank, there seems to be some mysterious quality that the successful possess, and this sense of difference generates a barrier of anxiety which makes it all the more impassable.

Adversity and Resilience

Discontent is the source of my success.

Adversities define what you're made of. Success is you're reward for overcoming them

Success evades the self-destructive, the impatient, victims of circumstance, those devoid of talent and geniuses born before their time.

Comfort is the Enemy of Success.

There is more genuine joy in climbing the hill of success, even though sweat may be spent and toes may be stubbed, than in aimlessly sliding down the path to failure. If a straight, honorable path has been chosen, the gaining of the summit yields lasting satisfaction. The morass of failure, if reached through laziness, indifference or other avoidable fault, yields nothing but ignominy and sorrow for self and family and friends.

Complacency is almost always the product of success or perceived success

We are called to be fruitful - not successful, not productive, not accomplished. Success comes from strength, stress, and human effort. Fruitfulness comes from vulnerability and the admission of our own weakness.

The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.

I’ve seen – both in myself and my competitors – how satisfaction can lead to a lack of vigilance, then to mistakes and missed opportunities.

Weakness leaves, pride comes in. Confidence grows. Successful life.

Complacency is almost always the product of success or perceived success.

Vision and Inspiration

Adaptability and Resourcefulness

People who take their own steps to notch up spectacular success are prone to receive the gifts of luck more often; success starts walking toward them in its turn to accelerate the awarded meeting.

Two types of success-seekers in our world:The “Reactive” and the “Proactive” molds.The first—do wait for opportunities;the second—create opportunities.The first—do retreat when faced with troubles;the second—fly higher on the double.The first—do throw excuses why give up;the second—cite reasons why must hold up.

Most motivational speakers typically use anecdotes rather than statistics to prove their point.
