10. “Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.” – John Wooden

In life, things seldom go according to plan. However, this does not mean that we should quit if things don’t work out. If you want to achieve your dreams, you should be ready to adapt and improvise if things don’t go as planned, but never lose sight of the goal.

11. “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.” – Robert Collier

16. ”Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.” – Jim Rohn

18. “There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” – Aristotle

19. “I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.” – Thomas Jefferson

People often look at successful people and assume they are lucky. However, success is not about luck. It is about effort. The harder you work, the more successful you will be. Work hard, achieve your dreams and let others assume you are lucky.

20. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs

23. “If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.” – Steve Jobs

There’s no such thing as an online success. People only see the glory of winning, not the effort and amount of time spent behind the scenes as one strives to become the best. If you want success, you must be willing to put in the hard work.

27. “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” – George Addair

Fear holds many of us back and keeps us from living up to our potential. The fear of failing. The fear of other people’s opinions. The fear of putting in a lot of effort for nothing. However, if you want to achieve greatness and live your best life, you must be willing to face and overcome your fears.

28. “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

There cannot be success without failure, so do not be afraid of making mistakes. Stop striving for perfection. Go ahead and start working on your dreams. Make mistakes, learn from them and grow.

30. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten”. – Tony Robbins

You cannot change your life by doing the same things you have been doing. If you want to achieve something you have never achieved before, you will need to do something you have never done before.

31. “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” – Henry Ford

However, he gave it one more try and went down the books of history as the inventor of the light bulb.

34. “If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” – Jim Rohn

35. “I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure. It is trying to please everybody.” – Herbert Bayard Swope

It is impossible to please everybody. You have no control over what others think about you, and if you are always worried about people opinions, you won’t do anything for yourself. Learn how to not care about people’s opinions and you are on your way to success.

36. “If you can dream it, you can achieve it.” – Walt Disney

This is a very powerful quote. Walt Disney reminds us that everything in this world is achievable. Therefore, don’t get intimidated by your dreams. There’s nothing like dreaming too big. The fact that you can dream it means you can achieve it if you put your mind to it.

37. “It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.” – Confucius

You should never give up on your dreams regardless of whatever obstacles you find along the way. Keep pushing forward, keep improving yourself, and continue trying to find ways of surmounting the challenge. It doesn’t matter how slow you progress, the important thing is to always keep pushing forward.

38. “I failed my way to success.” – Thomas Edison

The road to success is paved with failure. Instead of treating failure as a reason to quit, you should use failure as a lesson that makes you better equipped to achieve your goals.

39. “Don’t be distracted by criticism. Remember, the only taste of success some people get is to take a bite out of you.” – Zig Ziglar

Once you start doing big things, people will talk about you. People will criticize you. People will discourage you. Don’t let them distract you. Develop a thick skin and continue doing your stuff.

40. “Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.” – Warren Buffett

The American business magnate stresses the importance of getting started at this moment. Don’t procrastinate. Start working on your dreams today. His life is a good example of this principle; he started investing at the tender age of 11.

41. “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” – Dolly Parton

People only look at the glamorous side of greatness, without considering the hard work and sacrifices that great people put in order to achieve their success. If you want to achieve success, you should be willing to put in the work.

42. “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin

The world is a dynamic place. Everything is constantly changing. Companies like Nokia and Kodak, which were once leaders in their respective industries are nowhere near their former glory today, all because they did not anticipate and respond to change. If you want to survive, especially in business, you should be ready to respond to change.

43. “The difference between winning and losing is most often not quitting.” – Walt Disney

This one speaks for itself. You will never win by quitting. If you want to win, you have to keep going regardless of what you come against.

44. “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Life is short, and you don’t know when you will expire. Therefore, you should make the most of the moment you have today. Live the life of your dreams today, because you are not assured of tomorrow. However, you should never stop improving your knowledge. You never know when it will come in handy.

45. “You must expect great things of yourself before you can do them.” – Michael Jordan

83. “The No. 1 reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.” – Napoleon Hill
