Many a time we have desired to go that road which is less travelled, or
we caught in the middle of nowhere or we have just reached the top of
the mountain and we can’t stand the breeze of success as we often
over excited. In every situation you might be in, there has always
been someone who has been there before us and the good thing is
that these people left some footprints, for us to follow or some words
for us to always listen to. It is these marks that will give us the zeal
and energy to do more and successfully.
Motivation is no doubt the fuel to your mind, that every day you
supposed to be motivated. Get these quotes, proverbs and thoughts to
kickstart you into the positive direction. Know them, recite them and
the greatest of all apply them.
It is my sincere hope that this book will never leave you the same

SUCCESS
QUOTES

People become successful the
minute they decide to.
- Harvey Mackay
Successful people tend to become
more successful because
they are always thinking about
their successes.
----- Brian Tracy
Success is a lousy teacher. It
seduces smart people into
thinking they can't lose.----Bill
Gates
People with goals succeed because
they know where they are going.
- Earl NightingaleFor I can do ALL things
through
Christ who gives me strength.
- Philippians 4:13

To me, a winner is someone who
recognizes their God-given talents, works
his tail off to develop them into skills, and
uses those skills to accomplish his goals.
Even when I lost, I learned what my
weaknesses were and I went out the next
day to turn those weaknesses into
strengths.
-----Larry Bird
Happiness is the highest level of
success. He who dares, wins.
- Winston Churchill
To be successful, you have to
have your heart in your
business, and your business in
your heart. ― Thomas
Watson, Sr.
Twenty years from now you will be
more disappointed by the things that
you didn't do than by the ones you did
do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. ― Mark
Twain

Champions aren´t made in the
gyms. Champions are made from
something they have
deep inside them –a desire, a dream
and a vision. ― Muhammad Ali
80% of success is showing up.
- Woody Allen
God created all men equal. Why
do some accomplish far greater
accomplishments then others?
Because they had a vision, a
desire, and they took action.
----- Thomas J. Vilord
Success is neither magical nor

consistently applying the
basic fundamentals.
- Jim Rohn
I know the price of success:
dedication, hard work, and an
unremitting devotion to the things
you want to see happen.

it's a matter of choice. It is not a
thing to be waited for; it is a thing
to be achieved.
- Jeremy Kitson

The path to success is to take massive
determined action.
--- Anthony Robbins I have failed over and over again.
That is why I succeed.
- Michael Jordan
We grow great by dreams. All big men are
dreamers. They see things if the soft haze of a
spring day or in the red fire of a long winters
evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but
others nourish and protect them; they nurse them
through bad days until they bring them to the
sunshine and the light that always comes to those
who sincerely hope that their dreams will come
true.
------Woodrow Wilson
Success does not consist in never
making mistakes but in never
making the same one
a second time.-----George
Bernard Shaw
Success in the end erases all the
mistakes along the way.
- Chinese Proverb

known to be guided with
certain proverbs and idioms,

more.

It is no doubt Leadership is the
most discussed topic but least
understood topic in this world
and we have just compiled
again some leadership quotes
and thoughts which could help
you understand this divergent
topic.
Leadership is the capacity to
influence others and in the new
psychology of leadership, a
leader should be seen as We
and never to be I, meaning the
decision are motivated by the
group’s success rather than
personal gains.
Also another thought is that we
lead people and manage
resources.

getting someone else
to do something you want

Mark Twain
The ultimate measure of a
