Dale Carnegie was a writer and speaker on topics that included self improvement, positive attitude, public speaking, among other things.  Below are some of my favorite thoughts he shared on success:

• Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success
• Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success
• Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success
• People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing
• Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get
• The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way
• When fate hands you a lemon, make lemonade
• You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing
