The turning point, I think, was when I really
realized that you can do it yourself. That
you have to believe in you because sometimes
that's the only person that does believe
in your success but you.

It is once your ideas have been transformed
into enough money, and if all failed, you
would still live your lifestyle, and you
understand that just because you have made
more money than most, you are not better
than the common person. We are all going
to die broke. (Blixseth's definition of
success)

but I want to be looked back on as being
very innovative, very trusted and ethical
and ultimately making a big difference in
the world
Sergey

To me, money is a means to do good. I reached
a point in my life where I had enjoyed tremendous
business success that afforded my family
everything we could possibly want. My wife
and I then decided that we could use our
wealth to make a difference. So we created
the Broad Foundations to do four things:
to improve urban public education, to support
innovative scientific and medical research,
to foster art appreciation for audiences
worldwide and to support civic initiatives
in Los Angeles.

While I am proud of a number of accomplishments,
there are real costs to being unreasonable.
Long hours. Too little time with family.
A near incapacity for, as they say, stopping
and smelling the roses.

There is no substitute for knowledge. To
this day, I read three newspapers a day.
It is impossible to read a paper without
being exposed to ideas. And ideas.. more
than money.. are the real currency for success.

Family, religion, friends.. these are the

There are only two words that will always lead you to success. Those words
are yes and no. Undoubtedly, you’ve mastered saying yes. So start practicing
saying no. Your goals depend on it!
Jack
Canfield - Goals
- Success
- Decisions
Success depends on getting good at saying no without feeling guilty. You
cannot get ahead with your own goals if you are always saying yes to someone else’s
projects. You can only get ahead with your desired lifestyle if you are focused
on the things that will produce that lifestyle.

I believe the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself
master in that line. I have no faith in the policy of scattering one's resources,
and in my experience I have rarely if ever met a man who achieved preeminence
in money making.. certainly never one in manufacturing.. who was interested in
many concerns.
Andrew
Carnegie - Money

The men who have succeeded are men who have chosen one line and stuck to
it.

Even in such technical lines as engineering, about 15% of one's financial

The remarkable social impact and economic success of the Internet is in many
ways directly attributable to the architectural characteristics that were part

It is now 14 years since I first suggested
that organic farming might have some benefits
and ought to be taken seriously. I shall
never forget the vehemence of the reaction..
much of it coming from the sort of people
who regard agriculture as an industrial
process, with production as the sole yardstick
of success.

I was slightly cynical of the American mentality
before I came over here, but now I preach
it. Here, no one's going to tear you down
if you buy yourself a $300,000 car. They're
likely to say: "Well, you probably
worked hard for it. Good luck to you."

contributing to something beyond yourself.

If we agree that the bottom line of life is happiness, not success, then
it makes perfect sense to say that it is the journey that counts, not reaching
the destination.

There are a lot of things that go into creating
success. I don't like to do just the things
I like to do. I like to do things that cause
the company to succeed. I don't spend a
lot of time doing my favorite activities.

You will encounter many distractions and many temptations to put your goal
aside: The security of a job, a wife who wants kids, whatever. But if you hang
in there, always following your vision, I have no doubt you will succeed.

The true measure of a career is to be able to be content, even proud, that
you succeeded through your own endeavors without leaving a trail of casualties
in your wake.
Alan

I do not deny that many appear to have succeeded in a material way by cutting
corners and by manipulating associates, both in their professional and in their
personal lives. But material success is possible in this world and far more satisfying
when it comes without exploiting others.

To succeed, you will soon learn, as I did, the importance of a solid

communication skills.

the rest of your life, because if you don’t like it you’ll never be
successful in it.
