I have not failed. I’ve simply discovered ten thousand ways that didn’t work. -Thomas Edison
Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.
Every action that is easy to do, is also easy not to do.
Success is a process, not a destination.
Knowledge without practice is useless. Practice without knowledge is dangerous.
It’s not how you plan your work, it’s how you work your plan.
If you want twice the success, double your rate of failure.
Successful people do whatever it takes to get the job done, whether or not they feel like it.
