Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

I have a definition of success. For me it’s very simple. It’s not about wealth and fame and power. It’s about how many shining eyes I have around me.

All progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I have a definition of success.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

I want to define success by redefining it. For me it isn’t that solely mythical definition – glamour, allure, power of wealth, and the privilege from care. Any definition of success should be personal because it’s so transitory. It’s about shaping my own destiny.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

By any sane definition of success, if you wake up in a pool of blood and nobody has shot you, you are not successful.

There needs to be bolder thinking, … on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements. We need to readjust the definition of success to account for time outside of work and satisfaction of life, not just the dollars-and-cents bottom line.

Don’t buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it’s not working for men, it’s not working for polar bears, it’s not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, sleeplessness and high blood pressure.

If you believe in what you’re doing, you’ll be successful.

My definition of success is to be happy in what you like to do best. It’s not a monetary value; it’s an internal value in itself. If you’re happy from the inside-out, thats what is important. Success comes as a day to day value or reaching a goal that you have, and you’ve got to prepare yourself for what’s to come when success is there.

My favorite definition of success is that it is a state of mind combined with a state of readiness. You can have one and be a flop; if you have both, you’ll win every time.

There isn’t a formal definition of success.

The definition of success is total preparation.

To freely bloom – that is my definition of success.

Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.

To freely bloom that is my definition of success. The question then is, How does arguing with our children advance our goal that our children freely bloom.

This idea of doing it all is the enemy of equality, not the path to do it. It’s impossible to do two full-time jobs, and an impossible definition of success is just another way of making women feel like failures… Any definition of success has to include social policies that honor families and men who raise babies as much as women do.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success.

I’m just thrilled and kind of honored that I still get the chance to do what I love, because that really is the definition of success.

The definition of success changes. Success is to live your life with integrity and not give in to peer pressure to be something you’re not. Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path; unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path, then by all means, you should follow that.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

I have two definitions of success – one on the basketball court and one in my personal life. In basketball, success means making my teammates better, winning basketball games and winning championships. In my personal life, success means being a good father to my sons and raising them to be strong men; taking care of my family and being a good friend; and using my influence to make a difference in the community.

Either well succeed, or we wont succeed. And the definition of success as I described is sectarian violence down. Success is not no violence.

Don’t take anyone else’s definition of success as your own. (This is easier said than done.)

For Builders, the real definition of success is a life and work that brings personal fulfillment and lasting relationships and makes a difference in the world in which they live.

Beware of your definition of success: If it has more to do with what other people think of you than it does with what you know of your own abilities, you may be confusing applause with achievement.

My definition of success: When your core values and self-concept are in harmony with your daily actions and behaviors.

People treat having a kid as somehow retiring from success. Quitting. Have you seen a baby? They’re pretty cute. Loving them is pretty easy. Smiling babies should actually be categorized by the pharmaceutical industry as a powerful antidepressant. Being happy is really the definition of success, isn’t it?
