Success quotes can give you just the inspiration you need when it comes time to reach for the stars
Success is a funny thing; funny in that it has so many different definitions and means so many different things to different people or cultures.
Most dictionary definitions are similar yet diverse. So let us take a look at some of those definitions in order to understand what kind of success we are talking about here.
- The favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of one’s goals.
- The attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.
- A performance or achievement that is marked by success, as by the attainment of honors: The play was an instant success.
Which one of those three definitions do you relate to most, if any? Perhaps you have your own unique definition of success?
Either way, we think that the 10 success quotes we have chosen for you today offer a broad cross-section of what is widely agreed by most to be “success”.
So without further ado, here is the Lifedaily list of the 10 success quotes which will, hopefully, have you reaching for the stars
