On Success and Failure

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don'tfail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors injudgment, repeated every day.

Don't take the casual approach to life. Casualness leads to casualties.

Success is the study of the obvious. Everyone shouldtake Obvious I and Obvious II in school.

It's too bad failures don't give seminars. Wouldn'tthat be valuable? If you meet a guy who has messed up his life for forty years, you've just got to say,"John, if I bring my journal and promise to take goodnotes, would you spend a day with me?"

Success is not so much what we have as it is what we are.

Success is 20% skills and 80% strategy. You might knowhow to read, but more importantly, what's your plan toread?

Average people look for ways of getting away with it;successful people look for ways of getting on with it.

You cannot take the mild approach to the weeds in yourmental garden. You have got to hate weeds enough tokill them. Weeds are not something you handle; weedsare something you devastate.

Humility is a virtue; timidity is a disease.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80%how you feel about what you know.

What is powerful is when what you say is just the tipof the iceberg of what you know.

If you spend five minutes complaining, you have justwasted five minutes. If you continue complaining, itwon't be long before they haul you out to a financialdesert and there let you choke on the dust of your own regret.

Do preserve yourself & others while evolving continuously...
