"I am an over-achiever, and I want..." - Quote by Taylor Swift
I am an over-achiever, and I want to be known for the good things in my life.

“When you say 'control freak' and 'OCD' and 'organized,' that suggests someone who's cold in nature, and I'm just not. Like, I'm really open when it comes to letting people in. But I just like my house to be neat, and I don't like to make big messes that would hurt people.”
“All I ever do is learn from my mistakes so I don't make the same ones again. Then I make new ones.”
“I wouldn't want to date a pushover who would let me make all the plans and have all the control.”

“But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.”
“If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher, the law of averages - not to mention the myth of Icarus - predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: There is no such thing as failure.”
“We want men and women who shall renovate life and our social state but we see that most natures are insolvent, cannot satisfy their own wants, have an ambition out of all proportion to their practical force, and so do lean and beg day and night continually.”
More on Achievement
“The greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but in rising again after you fall.”
“What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.”
“It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever - the one who recognizes the challenges and does something about it.”
