Walter Wriston:“Judgment comes from experience - and experience comes from bad judgment”.It doesn't get clearer than this.Risk taking is an important factor in business.Without trying out something you wouldn't know what is worthy and what is not.Moreover,it's a well known fact that the higher the risk the greater the chances of success.However,a risk that ends up in failure is not bad at all for you know what you did not know before.Hence,the adage-"fool me once shame on you,fool me again and it's shame on me."
Sumner Redstone:"Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe."We succeed by learning from our mistakes and not by doing things right.Before we begin to walk we crawl,then fall a few times before we are stable on our own two feet.The good business man always manages to land on their feet,no matter what.
Donald Trump:"If you're going to be thinking, you may as well think big."-This is a topic discussed in detail by Johnnie Carson in his book think big.In all your business ideas and in all aspects of your life it pays to think in terms of the long term. To think of great achievement inorder to achieve the lesser goals,hence nearing your ultimate motive.Never underestimate small beginnings,they are the prelude to great success.However,though little ambition can take one nowhere,great ambition can destroy a man.
Napoleon Hill"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal."-Failure should be the incentive to fight back.The motivation we need to be more creative and aggressive in our campaigns.Embrace your shortcomings critically and with the intent to restrategise and come out on top.
Jerrald Mundis:"Like fire,money itself is neither good nor evil.It is neutral,it's character determined by the eye of the perceiver,the hand of the user."-We determine the effect that money has upon us.A famous man once said that the best character of a man can be judged when they have wealth.Therefore,we get to influence the kind of hold that money has on us.Accept fortune with gratitude but don't let it blur your vision,stay focused and unshaken from your roots.
GUAN YIN ZU:"Don't waste time calculating your chances of success and failure.Just fix your aim and begin."-Life is too short for one to dilydaly at the moment of reckoning.Procastination won't help either.You ought to be focused on what you want from life or better yet what you wanna achieve and go for it.Don't let anything stand in your way and don't stand in your own way.
Richard.L.Evans:"Everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was."-Never underestimate the power of small beginnings.We have to start somewhere. There is no such thing as instant success.You have to start crawling before you can begin to walk.
