The ABC to Achieving Success (5)

Continuing on my series – The ABC to Achieving Success...

On the road to success, a little help or advice from those who have achieved success works wonders for us. It is like someone pointing out the pot holes on the road, or removing obstacles on the road for us, making our journey easier, smoother and more enjoyable. It gives our confidence a boost when we know that those who have gone before us were also like us when they started. It shows that if they can do it, we can do it too.

Here are more quotes and pointers from people who have achieved success. Watch out for the rest of the series.

The ABC to Achieving Success (5)

Right Effort – Success treads on the heels of every right effort; and though it is possible to overestimate success to the extent of almost deifying it, as is sometimes done, still, in any worthy pursuit it is meritorious. - Samuel Smiles

Rise Above Problems – The world is as it is, irrespective of what we think of it. The one who can succeed is not the person who complains about the changing world, but the one who can rise above its problems. - Unknown

Set Goals – The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams. - Og Mandino

Snatching Success from Seeming Failure – Successful men usually snatch success from seeming failure. If they know there is such a word as defeat they will not admit it. They may be whipped, but they are not aware of it. That is why they succeed. - A. P. Gouthey

Sow More – Success is a planned outcome, not an accident. Success and mediocrity are both absolutely predictable because they follow the natural and immutable law of sowing and reaping. Simply stated, if you want to reap more rewards, you must sow more. - Tommy Newberry

Starting Today – The best way to ensure success is to start growing today. No matter where you may be starting from, don't be discouraged; everyone who got where he is started where he was. - John Maxwell

Stay Focussed – Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfilment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. - Jack Canfield

Step by Step – The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion . . . It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider – and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation – persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree. - Alexander Graham Bell

The road to success is not to be run upon by seven-leagued boots. Step by step, little by little, bit by bit – that is the way to wealth, that is the way to wisdom, that is the way to glory. - Charles Buxton
