Success comes in many forms and from many directions.
Often it does not come easily and all the obstacles and distractions thrown in our
direction will do their best to stop us from acting on our dream and achieving the
success we want.
I find it helpful, when I'm going through
a difficult time and the obstacles look insurmountable, to read about how others have
succeeded -- in whatever way they were pursuing their dream and working to make it
real.

I find them, I'll be posting success quotes here from the famous and not so famous.
Perhaps you'll find one or more of them to be inspirational and maybe this will be a
small help in motivating yourself to act on your
dream.When I started thinking about this page, I was
thinking of success quotes like the ones that follow this poem. But, when I ran across
this beautiful poem about success written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, I knew I had to
include it first. In just a few short phrases, he has illustrated a successful life that
isn't defined by wealth, power, and fame. Using this as a guide, any of us can change
our life and achieve the level of success we
want.readability="11">To laugh often and much;
to win the
respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn
the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false
friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in
others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life
has breathed
easier because you have lived.
This is to have
succeeded.Ralph Waldo
