Requisites For Success


How does one achieve success? Whatever you say about success and however you define success, no one will succeed unless he is ready to face and overcome difficulties, and prepared to assume responsibilities.

Perseverance

The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary. - Unknown

Most successful men fail time and time again, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success. - Michael Korda

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. - William Feather

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this (show) business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply did not give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you. - Harrison Ford

Even the woodpecker owes his success to the fact that he uses his head and keeps pecking away until he finishes the job he starts. - Unknown

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. - Napoleon Hill

Have the ability to recognize an opportunity when it presents itself and to seize it

Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand. - Bruce Barton

The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity. - Joseph Sugarman

To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do at conclusions. - Benjamin Franklin

Set realistic goals

If you want a certain type of fruit, you must choose to climb the right tree. If you want real success, choose the right path to walk or the right wall to climb. - Unknown

The successful person is not only goal-directed; he chooses the right goal to pursue in the first place. - Unknown

There are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are different and yet they are the same. The success has this over his rivals: he knows where he is going. - Mark Caine

Do not be not afraid to fail

Successful people are not afraid to fail. They have the ability to accept their failures and continue on, knowing that failure is a natural consequence of trying. The law of failure is one of the most powerful of all the success laws because you only really fail when you quit trying. - Unknown

The men who have done big things are those who were not afraid to attempt big things, who were not afraid to risk failure in order to gain success. - B. C. Forbes

No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure. - Napoleon Hill

The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed. - Gordon Parks

Do what you enjoy doing

No one ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction. - Charles Kendall Adams

Success follows doing what you want to do. There is no other way to be successful. - Malcolm Forbes

Enthusiasm

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm. - Charles M. Schwab

The first step toward success in any occupation is to become interested in it. - Sir William Osler

Work Hard

Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you have not planted. - Unknown

A successful person is one who went ahead and did the thing the rest of us never quite got around to. - Unknown

Do not give up

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown. - H. Ross Perot

When you feel like giving up, hold on just a little longer. Many a times, success come to those who held on a little longer. - Unknown

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. - Thomas Edison
