Motivational Quotes

Success

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.

- Watson, Thomas J.

For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not.
