Success is about persistence. You can only afford to be persistent in something you deeply enjoy.

The key to anyone’s success is staying with it!
If success is a habit, it is a hard one to acquire.

It really helps to know what success is before you get there, and if you know, then you can head right for it. For some people, it’s the most money. For some, it’s the most power.

The secret of success is sincerity.
