It can be easy to look at the life of Bill Gates or Oprah Winfrey or Thomas Edison – geniuses in business, media and technology— and think their success was innate, something they were born with and were always destined to have. This isn’t true. The fact is, every person who’s ever built something or accomplished anything in their life started somewhere, and often it was at the bottom. Famous quotes about success from people who have found it themselves may seem like platitudes, but often they’re the keenest insights we have into how their success was achieved.
Inspirational quotes on success have likely been decorating the walls of your classrooms and offices your entire life, but to dismiss them would be a mistake. They can change the way you see the pitfalls in your own life, the failures and false-starts, and reveal them for what they are: opportunities to grow, to start again — smarter and stronger this time, determined to achieve where you never have before.
The way you think about your own life and career, the challenges and opportunities it brings, will determine what you can accomplish. If you don’t believe success is possible for you, then it won’t be. It’s that simple. These 11 famous quotes about success represent just a small sample of all the wisdom that is out there from those who have come before you, but they can serve as motivation to achieve something of what they did. Consider each of them carefully and find something to take from them.
While you’re at it, consider what your own personal quotes on success might sound like. Because one day, someone may be reading them too.
