Succeeding in life is a difficult business - you need to work 16 hours a day, face failures along the way, remember that nobody owes you a thing, and take risks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
So I feel like success is opportunity plus preparation, so work begets work, and as long as you're prepared it's going to continue to come your way.
Success isn't supposed to happen, no matter how hard you work. There's no guarantee you're going to succeed. There's nothing set in stone.
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.
Working 24 hours a day isn't enough anymore. You have to be willing to sacrifice everything to be successful, including your personal life, your family life, maybe more. If people think it's any less, they're wrong, and they will fail.
Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.
Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love.
My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.
You can't fail. The further you fall, the greater the opportunity for growth and change.
The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do.
