Success

We were all made to love. And I've found that we live our best lives, we are at our most successful, not simply because we're smarter than everyone else, or because we hustle harder. The key to success, the key to happiness, is opening your mind and your heart to love.

Money and power by themselves are a two-legged stool — you can balance on them for a while, but eventually, you're going to topple over.

Don't buy society's definition of success. Because it's not working for anyone. It's not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears.

It ain't where you start in life, it's where you end up and what you did along the way.

There are absolutely no acceptable shortcuts to success in life. Cheating, for whatever reason and in any field, is wrong and is at best a temporary solution to a greater problem.

Relax, dude! You just finished college at Harvard. You worked so hard. Trust me, you're gonna kill it.

Success comes to the prepared mind. Success is not like rain that falls from the sky equally upon everyone. Success is what you reap when you sow with passion and optimism.

The world is hungry for professionalism. If you're professional and they're not — if you show up on time every morning and get the job done and they show up two hours later spouting clever excuses — then nine times out of ten, you will win and they will lose.

You get some success. You run into some walls. And it's how tenacious you are, how irrepressible, how ultimately optimistic and tenacious you are about it that will determine your success.

Success, like happiness, can't be pursued. It must ensue as the unintended byproduct of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.

Your odds of success in things you attempt go up radically if you are methodical and diligent.

Success doesn't come from a high IQ or innate talent. It takes a willingness to work hard. There is just no substitute for hard work and relentless preparation.
