Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.
- Erma Bombeck

DON’T QUIT
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.
- "Don't Quit," Author Unknown

- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

THE SUCCESS POEM
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.
- Bessie A Stanley, 1905

When opportunity knocks, don't complain about the noise.
