SECRET OF LIFE: September 2011

No one can possibly
achieve any real and
lasting success or 'get
rich' in business by being
a conformist." J. P. Getty
"To climb steep hills
requires slow pace at
first." William
Shakespeare
"There's no secret
about success. Did you
ever know a successful
man who didn't tell you
about it?" Kin Hubbard
"The secret of man's
success resides in his
insight into the moods
of people, and his tact
in dealing with them."
Josiah Gilbert Holland
"Do you stop yourself
by your own attitude?"
from Quotations on Life
"There is no passion to
be found playing small -
in settling for a life that
is less than the one you
are capable of living."
Nelson Mandela
Goals have made a
tremendous difference
in my life. They have
allowed me to achieve
success, and to
accomplish what I had
previously only dreamed
of, or wished for.
Catherine Pulsifer
We are prone to judge
success by the index of
our salaries
or the size of our
automobiles, rather
than by the quality of
our service relationship
to humanity. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
To have succeeded is to
have finished one's
business on earth, like
the male spider, who is
killed by the female the
moment he has
succeeded in his
courtship. I like a state
of continual becoming,
with a goal in front and
not behind. George
Bernard Shaw
Never confuse
movement with action.
Ernest Hemmingway
Success is getting what
you want. Happiness is
wanting what you get.
Dale Carnegie
In everything we do,
our own thoughts can
help us succeed, or they
can help us fail. Maintain
a positive attitude.
Catherine Pulsifer
Most of the successful
people I've known are
the ones who do more
listening than talking.
Bernard M. Baruch
Making a success of the
job at hand is the best
step toward the kind
you want.
Bernard M. Baruch
You cannot measure a
man by his failures. You
must know what use
he makes of them.
What did they mean to
him. What did he get
out of them. Orison
Swett Marden
If one advances
confidently in the
direction of his dream,
and endeavors to live
the life which he had
imagines, he will meet
with a success
unexpected in common
hours. Henry David
Thoreau

Meditations for
Teachers
Many successful people
arrived at their niche in
life through exposure
and experimentation in
areas that interested
them. Seymour Schulich,
Get Smarter Life and
Business Lessons
Success quotes are
many, and we could
write a book on all the
different ones. Here is a
quote with our
thoughts on it:
"Just because you know
where you want to end
up doesn't mean
you will not be faced
with obstacles, or
challenges along the
way.
Instant success rarely
happens."
Catherine Pulsifer
Sometimes, success
quotes lead you to open
your mind to
possibilities that you
may have never known
before. In other times,
a success quote may
have lead you to believe
that success comes
through simply defining
a goal, or in other
words, where you want
to end up, and that goal
will be realized without
any problems or
difficulties. This is not
necessarily true.
To succeed in a new
venture means that
you have not only
defined your goal or
what the ultimate
success means, but you
have clearly defined the
path you need to take
to get there. And, while
all of this seems to be
straight forward, there
is a lot more to it.
One of the simplest of
tasks is to specify a
series of action steps
to accomplish what you
want. I say this is the
simplest because all
that needs to be done
is a matter of writing a
series of action steps in
chronological order that
appears to give you a
map to follow similar to
simply following a
series of arrows in a
straight path. If this
was all there was to it,
anyone could get what
they wanted with
dedicated time and a
small amount of work.
Unfortunately, success
does not happen in a
linear fashion.
To truly understand the
success formula is to
also understand that
roadblocks, obstacles
and issues will greet
you at almost every
step of the way. And,
each step is not
necessarily one of
following each step in
succession because
many steps will require
partial completion
because another needs
to also start. Then,
there are those
obstacles that you may
not have thought
about, or that crop up
without warning. So,
now what do you do?
A really smart planner
will also attempt to
develop action plans
that account for as
many unforeseen
obstacles as possible
and have a contingency
plan for each of these.
One method is to
engage the help of
others who have also
faced similar problems
and were successful in
overcoming them.
These people are your
mentors and you may
need more than one
along the way. Some
people assume that
others who have been
successful in a similar
endeavour will not help.
Do not fall into t his
trap. It will be a
pleasant surprise to you
to find that most
people who have
become successful will
be only too glad to help
you along the way. You
may ask why? Well, the
usual answer is this:
They got help from
others too and so they
will return the favour to
others.
Success comes to
those who have
determination,
perseverance, and are
open and receptive to
asking and receiving
help from others who
have also overcome
obstacles. You do not
live in a vacuum, and
success is not
accomplished in a
vacuum either
