"FAR BETTER IS IT TO DARE MIGHTY THINGS, TO WIN GLORIOUS TRIUMPHS, EVEN THOUGH CHECKERED BY FAILURE...THAN TO RANK WITH THOSE POOR SPIRITS WHO NEITHER ENJOY MUCH NOR SUFFER MUCH, BECAUSE THEY LIVE IN A GRAY TWILIGHT THAT KNOWS NOT VICTORY NOR DEFEAT."
-Theodore Roosevelt
"To laugh often; to win the admiration of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the respect of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to apprehend beauty; to find the best in others; to leave this world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived -- that is said to have succeeded."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"One of the biggest threats to success is success itself. When you get a little bit ahead, it's all too easy to become complacent and to quickly lose what you have gained. To avoid that complacency, respond to success with gratitude and humility. See your success not as a reward, but as an opportunity. If you merely consume your good fortune, it leaves you with nothing but a bitter wistful taste in your mouth. Instead, seize the opportunity to expand and build on your success. The real joy of accomplishment is in the doing. To continue the joy, continue the doing. Let the small victories become steps on the path to an ever bigger victory. Let the big victories become steps on the path to an even more grand achievement. Make each success into a starting point and there is no limit to where you can go"
-Ralph Marston

The most valuable course of action is not to be found by plugging yourself into someone else's formula. The success you will achieve is the success you work to define on your own terms.
Speak with your own voice, think with your own mind, and act according to your own vision. The expert advice that will be most beneficial is the control you exercise over the choices you make.
