Success Personified
Author: Byron Pulsifer, © 2012
To each morning the sun does shine
When all seems like a newborn time
To dwell in laughter so much
Is only the beginning for me to clutch.
I will go out to find
Intelligent people of like mind.
To suffer or endure
Of friends who but will not do.
To look upon the earth with glee
For all beauty is in me
To grasp the clouds way up high
There is more before I die.
May I go upon the street
Never ending on my feet
Seeking out the best in others
Always to find I have more brothers.
To make a part of the world
A better place you see.
For every one I must explore
To look upon them as no one before.
To seek out and help
Others is more than joy
To be valued and respected
In all my life reflected.
All of this as said before
Makes me want to reach out more
For it is a challenge for me to reach
This is success for all to preach.
The Real Successes
Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012
Real successes are made,
Not dropped aside your door.
They aren't a thought you made one night,
While wishing upon a star.
Real successes are thought,
To be given to only the great.
They think that they work just as hard,
And they should have that fate.
Real successes are because,
Of someone making it so.
They fight for it and work real hard,
To make their successes grow.
Real successes are envied,
And rumored on how they were made.
People can be so jealous,
And even want to betray.
But you know how real successes,
Are built with hard work and care.
You've made your way to the top,
I'm so proud to see you are there.
by William Arthur Ward
Success is more than arriving
it is also attempting; more than realizing
it is also reaching.
Happiness comes not from having much to live on
but having much to live for.
Success never resides in the world of weak wishes,
but in the palace of purposeful plans and prayerful persistence.
Pessimism achieves no success over persistence.
Temporary defeat never spells total failure;
one victory never assures permanent success.
A real success is one who makes
his mark in life without smearing others.
Excellence without effort is as futile as progress without preparation
Work can be our friend or foe, or joy or our woe.
Success, like happiness, is more than a destination - it is a venture; more than an achievement - it is an attitude.
The greatest failure is the failure to try.
Alter your attitude and you will change your life.
Who seeks success, let him prepare.
Improvement is the son of discontent;
success is the offspring of preparation.
To emphasize the positive - the affirmative -
is to travel the high road of joy.
May your road to success be filled with achievements, with happiness, and with helping those during your journey!
Poet Joseph Addison
If you wish success in life,
Make perseverance your bosom friend,
Experience your wise counselor,
Conscience your elder brother,
And hope your guardian genius.
Achievement
Poet Robert Louis Stevenson
That man is a success who has lived well,
Laughed often and loved much;
Who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children;
Who has filled his nice and accomplished his task;
Who leaves the world better than he found it,
Whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem or a rescued soul,
Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it;
Who looked for he best in others and gave the best he had.
Success Quote
"Would you like me to give you a formula for success?
It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure
You're thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all
You can be discouraged by failure-or you can learn from it.
So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can.
Because, remember that's where you'll find success. On the far side."
Thomas John Watson, Sr.
