Success Quotes
"If I wanted to become a tramp, I would seek information
and advice from the most successful tramp I could find. If
I wanted to become a failure, I would seek advice from men
who have never succeeded. If I wanted to succeed in all
things, I would look around me for those who are
succeeding, and do as they have done."
— Joseph Marshall Wade

imagined.
— Roger Caras

Quotes
To be successful, the first thing to do is fall in love
with your work.
— Sister Mary Lauretta
What work I have done I have done because it has been
play. If it
had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who
said, "Blessed
is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had
the right
idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work — not somebody
else's
work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and
not work
at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man's
work and
cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the
world
we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows
who groan
and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never
can hope
to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in
a ferment
of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains?
The product
of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be
great.
— Mark Twain
Make no little plans; they
have no magic to stir men's blood . . . Make big plans; aim
high in hope and work.
— Daniel Burnham
Most saints live to regret their
career choice.
— Bob Stokes
Stop saying athletes do it for
the love of the game. They do it for the love of their
32-room mansion with the live shark tank in the living
room. If pro sports paid minimum wage, Shaquille O'Neal
would be a bouncer at Scores, and Anna Kournikova would be
a mail-order bride from Minsk.
— Bill Maher
Know the moment when to work diligently.
Even more important, know the moment when not to work, but
to relax and play instead.
This will not only benefit you immensely, but also will
astonish your friends and competitors.

Work is love made
visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with
distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and
sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who
work with joy.

Gibran

The best advice that anyone can give
you for choosing a specific career is never to accept
someone else's advice. Indeed, one of the biggest
reasons for choosing the career you have chosen should
be that no one told you to.

What is it that you like doing?
If you don’t like it, get out of it, because you’ll be
lousy at it. You don’t have to stay with a job for the rest
of your life, because if you don’t like it you’ll never be
successful in it.
