There are no secrets of success. Success is doing the things you know you should do. Success is not doing the things you know you should not do.
Success is not limited to any one area of your life. It encompasses all of the facets of your relationships: as parent, as wife or husband, as citizen, neighbor, worker, and all of the others.
Success is not confined to any one part of your personality but is related to the development of all the parts: body, mind, heart, and spirit. It is making the most of your total self.
Success is discovering your best talents, skills, and abilities and applying them where they will make the most effective contribution to your fellow men.
Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.
Success is ninety-nine percent mental attitude. It calls for love, joy, optimism, confidence, serenity, poise, faith, courage, cheerfulness, imagination, initiative, tolerance, honesty, humility, patience, and enthusiasm.
Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final destination. It is a continuing upward spiral of progress. It is a perpetual growth.
Success is having the courage to meet failure without being defeated. It is refusing to let present loss interfere with your long-range goal.
Success is accepting the challenge of the difficult. In the inspiring words of Phillips Brooks, "Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."
成功毫无秘诀可言。成功是清楚地知道自己该做与不该做的事。
成功不局限于生命的某一个领域。不论是为人父母、妻子、丈夫，还是公民、邻居、工人等，人际关系的层层面面都包含成功。
成功突破了人格的特定部分，关系着人格的健全发展——身体、思想、心灵以及精神，是一个自我完善的过程。
