It takes nearly as much ability to know how to profit by good advice as to know how to act for one's self.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To profit from good advice requires more wisdom than to give it.
My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more.
When you get successful, you can do pretty much whatever you want.
Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.
If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom.
I think you can learn as much from success as you can from failure.
One who works for his own profit is likely to work hard. One who works for the use of others, without profit to himself, is likely not to work any harder than he must.
There are a lot of people who think that's what's needed to be successful is always being right, always being careful, always picking the right path.
My father believed strongly, and taught me, that you can't let yourself get too high on a success or too low on a failure. In this volatile business, that's useful to know.
People know things and have a remarkable capacity to act in their individual immediate interests all the time.
