Success Failure Work Quotes

But after all
I say this as a kind of afterthought in conclusion
why bother with success at all? I have observed that the successful people get very little real enjoyment out of life. In fact the contrary is true. If I had to choose
with an eye to having a really pleasant life
between success and ruin, I should prefer ruin every time. I have several friends who are completely ruined
some two or three times
in a large way of course; and I find that if I want to get a really good dinner, where the champagne is just as it ought to be, and where hospitality is unhindered by mean thoughts of expense, I can get it best at the house of a ruined man. ~ Stephen Leacock

There is asymmetry. Those who die do so very early in the game, while those who live go on living very long. Whenever there is asymmetry in outcomes, the average survival has nothing to do with the median survival. ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Your integrity may disgrace your pride at the time you don't think but that doesnt mean you should stop. You'll have to accept and move on with your life in the way it is. ~ Auliq Ice

Watching myself fight, I realize the line between success and failure is so narrow, it's scary. ~ Georges St-Pierre

Failure changes for the better, success for the worse. ~ Seneca The Elder

What's the reason behind success and failure.
The answer is simple ME ~ Shivangi Lavaniya

Life on earth survives thanks to diversity, says Sekunda, because changing circumstances means today's winners can suddenly become tomorrow's losers. When the meteor hits, when the Green Revolution fails, when the bees unexpectedly die, the kind of anomalous diversity found in the Galapagos Islands - or in the technology of Japan - is exactly what will save us from the most dangerous failure of all: global success. ~ Momus

That's why I want you there, he said. You're unpredictable, and that can be the difference between success and failure. Most people make decisions in anger, fear, love, or obligation. You make decisions to irritate people. ~ Kim Harrison

I've never began any important venture for which I felt adequate prepared ~ Sheldon B. Kopp

Your ability to see failure as a necessary stepping stone directly correlates with your ability to dream bigger and dream better. ~ Mark Batterson

Government grows despite repeated failures to serve the public well because government's purpose no longer is to serve the public. Government now serves primarily the interests of those who work for the government. ~ Jack Kelly

Use the pebbles of failure to build yourself a bridge to success. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo

Because we have never been taught any other way to meet our distress, we don't realize how much our habits of avoidance or brooding are making things worse, turning momentary tiredness into exhaustion, momentary fear into chronic worry, and momentary sadness into chronic unhappiness and depression. So it isn't our fault that we end up exhausted, anxious, or depressed. We have been given only certain tools to deal with things we don't like: get rid of it, work harder, be better, be perfect - and if we fail to make things different, we too easily conclude that we are a failure as a person. ~ Ed Halliwell

Great leadership produces great success.
Weak leadership produces failure. ~ Ellen J. Barrier

With success, if you don't plan and just take each day as it comes, there will come failure. ~ Auliq Ice

Now that I have made this catalogue of swindles and perversions, let me give another example of the kind of writing that they lead to. This time it must of its nature be an imaginary one. I am going to translate a passage of good English into modern English of the worst sort. Here is a well-known verse from Ecclesiastes:
I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Here it is in modern English:
Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account. ~ George Orwell

Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next. ~ Ben Carson

Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay
of hard forethought
of pains
of steadiness
of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price. ~ Charles Buxton

when you are a child you unconsciously adopt certain beliefs. Yet, there comes
the necessity to upgrade these beliefs as you grow older. ~ Derric Yuh Ndim

Strive For Excellence
Perhaps the most
Important single cause of
A person's success or
Failure educationally has
To do with the question
Of what he believes about
Himself ~ Arthur W. Combs

When luck hits you hard with Failure; hit it back softly with your Success! ~ Naila Tennyson

Those who learn from success grow prideful. On the contrary... those who learn from failure run to extremes. You can't learn anything from total affirmation, or from total denial. And the more you think you have, the nastier you get. ~ Adachitoka

Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You will succeed if you are fearless of failure. ~ Natalie Goldberg

Champions know that success is inevitable, that there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. They know that the best way to forecast the future is to create it. ~ Michael J. Gelb

Success and failure on the public level never mattered much to me, in fact I feel more at home with the latter, having breathed deep of its vivifying air all my writing life up to the last couple of years. ~ Samuel Beckett

It's utterly astounding that every time I get knocked down God's mercy compassionately raises me to my feet; His grace thoroughly brushes off every trace of assorted filth I accumulated in the fall, His word precisely recalibrates my direction to insure the success of a journey resumed, and once all of that is completed He gently leans over and whispers, "How about another run? ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

Both success and failure are largely the results of habit! ~ Napoleon Hill

Success is Never Ending, Failure Is Never Final. ~ Robert A. Schuller

There is a widespread belief that americans hate cities. I think it is probable that Americans hate city failure, but, from the evidence, we certainly do not hate successful and vital city areas. On the contrary, so many people want to make use of such places, so many people want to work in them or live in them or visit in them, that municipal self-destruction ensues. In killing successful diversity combinations with money, we are employing perhaps our nearest equivalent to killing with kindness. ~ Jane Jacobs

Science is experimental, moving forward step-by-step, making trial and learning through success and failure. Is not this also the way of religion, and especially of the Christian religion? The writings of those who preach the religion have from the very beginning insisted that it is to be proved by experience. If a man is drawn towards honour and courage and endurance, justice, mercy, and charity, let him follow the way of Christ and find out for himself. No findings in science hinder him in that way. ~ William Henry Bragg

I don't fail, I either succeed or learn. ~ Dr.Khalid Azzam

Failure is success training. ~ Kevin Smith

Often what we struggle with becomes the foundation of our greatest success. ~ James Woosley

You may be a dreadful failure. Christ is a divine success. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. ~ Edward Thomson

When writers who are just starting out ask me when it gets easier, my answer is never. It never gets easier. I don't want to scare them, so I rarely say more than that, but the truth is that, if anything, it gets harder. The writing life isn't just filled with predictable uncertainties but with the awareness that we are always starting over again. That everything we ever write will be flawed. We may have written one book, or many, but all we know - if we know anything at all - is how to write the book we're writing. All novels are failures. Perfection itself would be a failure. All we can hope is that we will fail better. That we won't succumb to fear of the unknown. That we will not fall prey to the easy enchantments of repeating what may have worked in the past. I try to remember that the job - as well as the plight, and the unexpected joy - of the artist is to embrace uncertainty, to be sharpened and honed by it. To be birthed by it. Each time we come to the end of a piece of work, we have failed as we have leapt - spectacularly, brazenly - into the unknown. ~ Dani Shapiro

You won't be judged just by your successes and failure but also by how you reacted to success and failure. ~ Decker Schutt

Humans are really stupid. If we don't fall and get hurt, we won't learn our lesson. Just like a kid repeatedly falling.

No matter how many times we fail, or how many times we've fallen. Humans will stand once again, smiling ruefully at our grazed knees before continuing onwards. This time we will not run from our pain. ~ Yuuri Eda

Luck means the hardships and privations which you have not hesitated to endure, the long nights you have devoted to work. Luck means the appointments you have never failed to keep; the trains you have never failed to catch. ~ Max O'Rell

If the movie is terrible you can have fun. You can joke about it and have a ball. The movie is already sort of established as a kind of extraordinary piece of work even though it hasn't opened yet to the public. It is harder because you can't go against it and you can't be interesting. You have to go with the flow. Although one is very happy to be in it, it is sort of hard to talk about it. It is hard to talk about successful. It is much easier to talk about failure. ~ Christopher Plummer

The fearful and short-sighted dwell in prisons of their own making. ~ James Vincett

Success is a choice; a promise that you make to yourself to keep moving forward. ~ Elizabeth Bourgeret

Sometimes when you lose you win, son. Failure is just life's way of preparing you for success. ~ Bernie Mac
