Most of us want to be a success... at something. No one wakes up with the thrill of having suddenly realized they want to be a failure, and yet most of us don't realize that even people who succeed also fail.Below are some quotes about success. I hope at least one of them causes you to look in the mirror and see yourself as a success... at something.
