“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.”

“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.”
「你希望我给你成功的方程式吗?非常简单,真的。加倍你的失败,你认为失败是成功的敌人,但一点都不是… 你可以因失败而气馁 – 你也可以从失败中学习。去犯错,犯所有你能犯的错,因为你要记住,那将是你发现成功的地方,在另一头。」– 汤玛斯‧华生 (IBM 创办人)
“Success means we go to sleep at night knowing that our talents and abilities were used in a way that served others.”
