The remedy for weakness is not brooding over weakness,
but
Thinking of strength
to time the bottom of the market... layoffs, bankruptcies, suicides, etc.
Never mind the struggles, the mistakes
Never mind these failures, these little backslidings
Hold the ideal a thousand times
If you fail a thousand times, make an attempt once more
--Swami Vivekananda
You fail only when
you do not strive sufficiently to manifest infinite power.
As soon as a man loses faith death comes.
--Swami Vivekananda
"What you get by achieving your goals
is not as important as
what you become by achieving your goals."
Success means doing the best we can with what we have.
Success is the doing, not the getting
-- in the trying, not the triumph,
Success is a personal standard
-- reaching for the highest that is in us
-- becoming all that we can be.
If we do our best, we are a success.
Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
