More on Success
“Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to [grow and] become successful. For that reason it makes sense to be grateful for adversities that help you grow, even if it is only in understanding and compassion for other's suffering.”
“SUCCESS is when I add value to MYSELF. SIGNIFICANCE is when I add value to OTHERS.”
“When I was young, I observed that nine out of ten things I did were failures. So I did ten times more work.”

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
“Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principle and you will own a precious shield that will guard you well through all the darkest valleys you must traverse. Stars may be seen from the bottom of a deep well, when they cannot be discerned from the mountaintop. So will you learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.”
“Smiles come best from those who weep.”
