Success
Is Not Final
“Success
is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
―
Winston S. Churchill
“He
has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who
has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the
love of little children;
Who
has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who
has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who
has left the world better than he found it,
Whether
an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who
has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose
life was an inspiration;
Whose
memory a benediction.”

can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula

“Dare
to Be
When
a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.
When
there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.
When
there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.
When
something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.
When
life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.
When
there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.
When
you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.
When
times are tough, dare to be tougher.
When
love hurts you, dare to love again.
When
someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.
When
another is lost, dare to help them find the way.
When
a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.
When
you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.
When
you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.
When
the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.
Dare
to be the best you can –
At
all times, Dare to be!”

W.P. Kinsella
“Anyone
whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is
vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling.
It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the
desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
