The biggest enemy of success is fear of failure. Every successful person has a painful story and every painful story has a successful ending. Let us accept the pain and get ready for success. Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes but don't quit.

We are only as strong as we allow ourselves to be; never get discouraged, never give up because consistency and dedication are the keys to success. Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and we have the power to make it so. Often, the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk and to act.

I have learned that discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. If we cannot do great things, let us do small things the great way. Some people dream of success, others make it happen. We can be discouraged by failure or we can learn from it.

Everybody has weaknesses. A large part of success is knowing how to avoid falling prey to them. The strongest factor for success is self-esteem: believing we can do it, believing we deserve it, believing we will get it. Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire, and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame, and complain. The greatest success we can ever achieve is when we help others become successful.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If we love what we are doing, we will be successful. We learn from the mistakes we make and from the mistakes other people make. The truth is, we don't learn from success; we learn from failure. So when fear knocks at our door, let us send courage to open the door and success will be waiting for us.
