Sometimes people go through life holding on to beliefs that they cannot do something, simply because they failed at it once before. We should always keep trying. People succeed because they are determined. When you truly want success, you’ll never give up no matter how bad the situation may get. Many a times, success come to those who held on a little longer.

"The highest form of success comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph." - Theodore Roosevelt

"Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered, and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds." - Orison Swett Marden

"Remember, success is buried on the other side of rejection. There are no real successes without rejection. The more rejection you get, the better you are, the more you've learned, the closer you are to your outcome." - Anthony Robbins

However, sometimes success can cause misery too, when it comes with responsibilites which are consuming and all but impossible to live up to. It can be wracking and reproachful, to you and those close to you. Instead of feeling jubilant and happy, you are unhappy and miserable. Your success comes at too high a price.

The trick is not to be surprised when you discover that your success does not bring you all the happiness and answers you thought it would.

"While success is necessary to happiness, it must be remembered that the term is a relative one; in other words, that there are many degrees of success, among which the highest are neither attainable by all, nor essential to felicity." - William Mathews

Thank you! I am glad you like it. It means a lot to me.
When you are not the brightest light on the harbour, nor the most eloquent, but you still want to impress others, that's how you do it - quote others. 😎😀

Thank you for the heads up on the mug shot. I hadn't realize it was missing. Someone must have got jealous of my good looks and hijacked it. I hope it is back up now.
