Personal Achievement Quotes

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”

“Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement.”

If you're not clear about this, then write it down, and rewrite it until the words express precisely what you are after. Every disadvantage has an equivalent advantage - if you'll take the trouble to find it. Learn to do that and you'll kick the stuffing out of adversity every time.”

“Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”

“I shall either find a way, or make one (attributed)”

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.”

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”

“Far from the richest rapper, but my biggest personal achievement thus far in my life has been retiring my mom early from her job at the Post Office. It's a tiny payback for the sacrifices she made that allowed me to chase a far-fetched dream of becoming a successful artist. I'm forever grateful.”
