Founder - Editor - Host
Great thoughts from those who acquired fame:
Orison Swett Marden - founder, Success Magazine:
"We win half the battle when we make up our minds to take the
world as we find it, including the thorns."
Cesare Pavese - 20th century Italian novelist:
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all
your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and
fears."
Orison Swett Marden - founder, Success Magazine:
"Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers that
would astonish him, that he never dreamed of possessing;
forces that would revolutionize his life if aroused and put
into action."
Alan Alda - actor, writer, director:
"It isn't necessary to be rich and famous to be happy. It's
only necessary to be rich."
Harry Truman - 32nd President of the United States:
"I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I
found that the men and women who got to the top were those who
did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of
energy and enthusiasm."
Martha Graham - modern dance choreographer:
"Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they
are great because of their passion."
Booker T. Washington - founder, Tuskegee Institute in Alabama:
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that
one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has
overcome while trying to succeed."
Paramhansa Yogananda - Indian mystic:
"Success is not to be measured by how much material wealth is
possessed, but whether you are able to create at will what you
need."
True success is no secret. Those who have achieved it are
amply willing to share the secrets with all who express
interest. Re-invent yourself, with the mindset that you will
act on your ideas with enthusiasm and determination. Put fear
in your back pocket. Do not look into the eyes of the critics
and cynics. Stay focused on your dreams. Believe in yourself
and turn your talent into a valuable commodity.
