“Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act.”
「通常成功者與失敗者的不同,不是前者擁有較好的能力或想法,而是敢於測試自己的想法,冒計算過的險 – 並且行動。」– 麥斯威爾‧瑪爾茲 (整形外科醫師)
“Your success will not be determined by your gender or your ethnicity, but only on the scope of your dreams and your hard work to achieve them.”

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You’re thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all… You can be discouraged by failure – or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success. On the far side.”
「你希望我給你成功的方程式嗎?非常簡單,真的。加倍你的失敗,你認為失敗是成功的敵人,但一點都不是… 你可以因失敗而氣餒 – 你也可以從失敗中學習。去犯錯,犯所有你能犯的錯,因為你要記住,那將是你發現成功的地方,在另一頭。」– 湯瑪斯‧華生 (IBM 創辦人)
“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others.”
