People who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
Experiencing failure is inevitable on your journey to be successful.

Every defeat is merely an installment to victory.

You’ll find that the number of times you succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times you fail and keep trying. You won’t be judged by the number of times you fail, but by the number of times you succeed.

Failure is nothing but education, nothing but the first step to something better.

You can’t be a winner and be afraid to lose.

Your future is a big adventure.
Prepare for your future don’t live in the past.
Savor your good memories,
use any bad ones as lessons in life.

Carve out a niche for yourself in your imagined future.
Think, feel and see yourself as successful.
To achieve any goal in life, you need to project your end result.
Think of the elation, the satisfaction, the joy you’ll feel.
Carry these ecstatic feelings with you every day
and they’ll bring your desired goals into view.

Sooner or later, you can win if you think you can.
The cards you are dealt in life
are less important than the way you play them.
Everyday you’re offered a new deal and new cards.

Success is in your future if you’re willing to work for it.

High achievement always takes place
in the framework of high expectation.
You’ll always hit what you aim for in the long run.
So why not aim high?

Have the courage to follow your dreams.
It’s the first step towards attaining your destiny.

If you can dream it, you can do it.
If you don’t have a dream,
how are you going to make it come true?

In order to succeed beyond your wildest expectations,
you need some wild expectations.

The people that really succeed in the world
are the people who look for the circumstances they want.
And, if they can’t find them, they make them.

The lure of the distant and the difficult can be deceptive.
The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.
Properly perceived, every situation can become an opportunity for you.

Your destiny isn’t a matter of chance,
it’s a matter of choice.
It’s not something you wait for,
but rather something you achieve with effort.

You’re surrounded by opportunity,
but things won’t turn up in this world until you turn them up.
