What is the difference between the success achieved by power and the success achieved by hard work?please help me in my question if u can .... i...

Success comes in many forms and from many directions. Often it does not come easily and all the obstacles and distractions thrown in our direction will do their best to stop us from acting on our dream and achieving the success we want.

I find it helpful, when I'm going through a difficult time and the obstacles look insurmountable, to read about how others have succeeded -- in whatever way they were pursuing their dream and working to make it real.

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. -- Thomas Edison

As I find them, I'll be posting success quotes here from the famous and not so famous. Perhaps you'll find one or more of them to be inspirational and maybe this will be a small help in motivating yourself to act on your dream.

When I started thinking about this page, I was thinking of success quotes like the ones that follow this poem. But, when I ran across this beautiful poem about success written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, I knew I had to include it first. In just a few short phrases, he has illustrated a successful life that isn't defined by wealth, power, and fame. Using this as a guide, any of us can change our life and achieve the level of success we want.

To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. --Thomas Edison

Victory belongs to the most persevering. -- Napoleon Bonaparte

It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness. -- Seneca

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. -- General George Patton

A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits. -- Richard Nixon

Sometimes our best is simply not enough.... We have to do what is required. -- Sir Winston Churchill
