Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Success came to us at an age where we could enjoy it. We went through a lot of hard times, so we appreciate success all the more now.
Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
We now live in a world where the only thing to have is success, but failure is marvelous. It's fertiliser, it's like living fertiliser, because you're forced on yourself.
I think that if you ask what's made us successful, it's because we've been fortunate enough to identify, in a number of cases, great people early. Then we throw all the resources behind them and are aligned with them.
Becoming successful is a relentless pursuit. It's good that it's that way: When it does come, you learn to know how to appreciate it, and know how lucky you are to be doing something that you love so much.
A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.
Success is a wonderful thing, but it tends not to be the sort of experience that we learn from. We enjoy it; perhaps we even deserve it. But we don't acquire wisdom from it.
In a lot of ways, success is much harder than I thought it would be. I figured that you'd get here and then everything would be happily ever after. But, it's hard work, almost harder once you're successful because you've got to maintain it.
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.
Sometimes you have success and not so much success versus certain people.
