The point is not to take the world's opinion as a guiding star but to go one's way in life and working unerringly, neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star, whatever that means, you might be setting yourself up for failure.
No one can be great, or good, or happy except through the inward efforts of themselves.
Being a star and having money do not make for a happy person.
Well, the idea is that failure is an inevitable partner on the road to success and, if you're not willing to confront failure, you can never find out how good you are.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
It goes without saying that it's hard to attain a certain level of success.
You work with some people, you see a spark in them and you can't help praising them. But everyone has their own destiny. No one can make anyone. Who reaches where and when, is all written.
The characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair.
We're born with success. It is only others who point out our failures, and what they attribute to us as failure.
There are high spots in all of our lives and most of them have come about through encouragement from someone else. I don't care how great, how famous or successful a man or woman may be, each hungers for applause.
