The freedom to fail is vital if you're going to succeed. Most successful people fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success.
One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.
Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility... in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have... is the ability to take on responsibility.
The more you can dream, the more you can do.
The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own.
