Inspirational Quotes
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

All you need in life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
Mark Twain

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Thomas Edison

Those are a success who have lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who have gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of children, who have filled their niche and accomplished their task, who leave the world better than they found it, whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul; who never lacked appreciation of the earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best they had.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fight one more round. When your arms are so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard, fight one more round. When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round - remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.
James

    Therefore, no matter the goal you are trying to reach, always know failure comes with the enjoyment of success. If I felt like a failure after finding out I did not receive the opportunity to be accepted into the school, I would not have been able to push myself to become greater. Try and you shall succeed.

    Defeat is the secret ingredient to success.” For me this quote means a lot due to a lot of people trying to do something good for themselves or have a goal and just because they don't accomplish it the first time they think they have fail. If there's something i've learned from my teachers is that “you don't fail when you don't make it or when you don't get there first, you fail when you quit.” So where does my generation find success? My generation finds success in graduating from high school others find it in not getting pregnant in high school. Some might find it in having a lot of money or getting a career and having a family or finding someone worth it of spending their time on. Taking in consideration of how my generation is there’s a lot of ways on how you can find success.…

    In life, failures occasionally happen. It befalls on everybody. However, failures don’t label us as a person but can build you as one of those experiences. The person who succeeds without first failing hasn't truly learned anything. In failures, there can be a learning experience and an opportunity to develop.

    Failures should be sought after and not be concealed by our own ego; in fact, Thoreau, upon reflecting his future death, realized how he did not wish to be confined. In my own experience, I have also discovered this idea and the knowledge dawns on me whenever I reflect upon myself, while underneath the celestial night sky. The discovery was early on in my life, around 15, that I learnt to search for my own failures and not ignore them, but encourage them. Nevertheless, this may seem like an exhausting way of life, granted it has worn itself on me a few times, however it eventually grows to be looked at as an embarrassing starting point of an ability or perspective, which later can grow to a substantive experience.…

    “No matter how old you are, where you are from or what you do for a living, we all share something in common—a desire to be successful” by Kara Heisman. Most people consider synonymous success with wealth, fame and power; however, some think that success associated love and faithfulness in marriage or the cares and responsible parent. Therefore, the success life with each person has different meanings is due to the way of their understanding and definition of the success word.…

    Failure, when pertaining to human achievement is the act of not reaching success. Failure, though, in its own right is just an idea because as Winston Churchill once said, “ Success is not final, failure is not final; it is the courage to continue that counts.” This is a lesson I learned at the end of my freshman year of high school. Freshman year wasn’t my best year academically, athletically, or socially. I wasn’t specifically failing in any of those areas, but I released at the end of year how strikingly mundane I had been when I thought I should have been exceling. I beat myself up, considering anything less than my expectations a failure. I wanted to give up and not care. The weird thing is though, is that this mishap I had didn’t detour…

    When we think of success and wealth, we often think financial benefits; but no matter how we define success, we soon come to realize that there is no specific answer that will guide us down the right path to our personal success. We all have different ambitions and priorities, which mean that different accomplishments and behaviors will make us feel better about ourselves. To be successful the individual must understand what is important and must recognize one’s strengths and weaknesses. When we hear the name “Benjamin Franklin” we automatically think that he was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States; but he was much more than that. Not only was he a successful scientist, he was an inventor and a politician. But not many individuals…

    For some people it takes forever to figure out that failure is not always a bad thing, while at the time it may seem like the end of the world. “We are all potentially capable of any human act.” (Roth 39). Even the most successful of people have failed at something at least once in their lives. Maybe consider though, that failure was what brought them back up to the best, hardest working person that they could be and it did not take long for them to retrieve what they had lost and made it ten times better!…
