Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.

That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness.

The essential element of successful strategy is that it derives its success from the differences between competitors with a consequent difference in their behavior.

“Nokia has once again succeeded in attracting the upper end of the market with its sophisticated phones and big mid-range portfolio. It has been more successful in this group than its rivals.”

“We have found that when companies establish a physical presence, and locate executives and senior people in a market, they tend to be successful. When companies try to manage a market remotely, they tend to be spectacularly unsuccessful.”

People can believe in their own progress and success. They can even believe in strangers success. But when it comes to success of anyone from their social circle, they think, it must be by fluke and the other person doesn't deserve it.

It is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often and so undeservedly succeed when the informed and the experienced fail. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

Vacillating people seldom succeed. They seldom win the solid respect of their fellows. Successful men and women are very careful in reaching decisions and very persistent and determined in action thereafter.

“It is strange the way the ignorant and inexperienced so often and so undeservedly succeed when the informed and the experienced fail. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.”

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
