Success

   Businesspeople	 are	 consumed	 with	 the	 urgent	 matter	 of	 succeeding.	 Whether
they’re	 looking	 for	 the	 secret	 to	 success,	 a	 formula	 for	 success,	 or	 ways	 around
obstacles	to	success,	the	topic	is	always	top	of	mind.	No	matter	the	definition	of
success—money,	 personal	 satisfaction,	 social	 good—the	 quotes	 here	 will	 help
success	seekers	thrive.

                                                	

If	 you	 don’t	 do	 it	 excellently,	 don’t	 do	 it	 at	 all.	 Because	 if	 it’s	 not	 excellent,	 it
won’t	 be	 profitable	 or	 fun,	 and	 if	 you’re	 not	 in	 business	 for	 fun	 or	 profit,	 what
the	hell	are	you	doing	there?

         —Robert	Townsend,	author	(from	his	book	Up	the	Organization,	2007)	

The	 three	 great	 essentials	 to	 achieve	 anything	 worthwhile	 are,	 first,	 hard	 work;
second,	stick-to-itiveness;	third,	common	sense.

         —Thomas	Edison,	inventor
