37 GREAT Success Quotes

I know many of us spend “some” time thinking about success on a regular basis. Several people have asked me for more of the Success Quotes I mention from time to time. I have put together 37 Success Quotes which I really like and muse on.

They are in no particular order, so #1 isn’t necessarily the best nor is #37 the worst. Please don’t complain about where your favorite is on the list…they are random.

I know there are many more I could have included but this list also is not exhaustive. It’s simply 37 Success Quotes which I like. If you have a quote you like on the subject of success, share it. I’d love to see some I have never read. Here goes…

1. "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success."
   Thomas J. Watson
   
   
2. “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”
   Bill Cosby
   
   
3. “Success is dependent on effort.”
   Sophocles
   
   
4. “Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven't planted”
   David Bly
   
   
5. "Success is a journey, not a destination."
   Ben Sweetland
   
   
6. “If there is no wind, row.”
   Lain Proverb
   
   
7. "The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. The sure-thing boat never gets far from shore."
   Dale Carnegie
   
   
8. “A man is not defeated by his opponents but by himself.”
   Jan Christiaan Smuts
   
   
9. “Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
   Jim Rohn
   
   
10. "God gives every bird a worm, but he does not throw it into the nest."
    Swedish Proverb

I Am Not Ashamed

Some people tell me that I am going to lose followers and hurt my business because I tweeted about prayer. Actually I tweeted about praying for a sick person but I get the point.

I would like to say this:

10 Ways To Say Hello

I thought I would get deep with this post and give you "10 Ways To Say Hello." Here goes...

1. Hello
2. Hi
3. Howdy
4. Wassup
5. MEH
6. Halloo (Estonian)
7. How do you do
8. How you doin'
9. Shalom
10. Hola

Personally, I like the "head-bob to the back" but that's just my opinion.

Yes...there are MANY more ways to say "Hello". Unfortunately my "10 Ways To Say Hello" list only had room for 10.

Sorry!

If there is a demand for it, I can do a bigger list.

Adios (that means good-bye).

Social Media 201

So I'm in Seattle this week for Social Media 201, an exciting, mind-blowing experience and chance to learn from some of the best in Social Media and marketing. I am humbled and truly blessed to involved with such great people as those putting on this event and those speaking at this event. I am truly honored to know them and be associated with them.
This whole experience has been one of serendipitous cosmic alignment, the likes of which you would have to be an eyewitness to fully appreciate. We have come together from all over the nation to meet at the Microsoft Executive Conference Center, many of us meeting "face-to-face" for the first time, having an intimacy as friends and collaborators which developed because of the very Social Media we're here to talk about.

There's A Homer Simpson Inside Of You

Did you know there’s a Homer Simpson inside of you?

“Dope!”

Seriously, I’m going to list a few of Homer’s quotes and see if any of them are familiar to you…or if you have an eerily similar thing you've said…or thought.

“Oh, so they have internet on computers now!”

“Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers.”

“Well, its 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids.”

“Doughnuts. Is there anything they can't do?”

“When will I learn? The answer to life's problems aren't at the bottom of a bottle, they're on TV!”

“Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.”

“I want to share something with you: The three little sentences that will get you through life. Number 1: Cover for me. Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss! Number 3: It was like that when I got here.”

“If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing.”

Tomorrow Is A Choice...

Tomorrow is a choice...that you make today.

This is something which I firmly believe…you can have the tomorrow you want and desire, if you make the right choices today.

What kind of tomorrow do you want?

What are you doing today, to have that tomorrow?

Tony Robbins said, “How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?”

Things Aren't Always The Way They Seem

The story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect my stupidity.

I have three hands-free headsets on my desk.

One for my cell phone.

One for my computer and Skype and making videos.

One for my landline, business phone.

So today, I’m sitting at my desk, minding my own business, jamming to some GREAT music, and working.

My business phone starts ringing and I look at the caller ID. It says Otis Ortiz. I don’t personally know an Otis Ortiz, and I wasn’t expecting anyone named Otis Ortiz to call and I was very busy, working.

By the time I decided to answer it, the call had already gone to voicemail. Oh darn! I missed the call from someone I don’t know. I’ll have to listen to the message.
