Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. Mark Twain
It is wiser to find out than to suppose. Mark Twain

Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. Steve Jobs
Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals. Jim Rohn

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Mike Tyson
Good people are good because they’ve come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know. William Saroyan

Obstacles are placed in our way to see if what we want is really worth fighting for.
