Ignoring facts does not make them go away.

I discovered that the more I hustled, the luckier I seemed to get.

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.

Profit isn't and shouldn't be the mission of business. The mission of business is to help people. To help your customers, your co-workers, your employees, and your partners. Success is not a number - it's not X dollars or Y customers - it's a measurement of VALUE.

It's a lonesome walk to the sidelines, especially when thousands of people are cheering your replacement.

What's so wonderful about business is that every time I start thinking I'm special, I get knocked on my ass.

The failure to be perfect does not mean you are not a success; it is giving your best that helps you to understand the joy of receiving.
