A price has to be paid for success. Almost invariably those who have reached the summits worked harder and longer, studied and planned more assiduously, practiced more self-denial, overcame more difficulties than those of us who have not risen so far. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success. Your idea may or may not have merit. The key is to get started.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
It means winning the war, not every battle. The real secret of success is enthusiasm. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything. Unless a man has been taught what to do with success after getting it, the achievement of it must inevitably leave him a prey to boredom.
