Do the same with your mind. - Manhardeep Singh Ahluwalia I had the feeling I was going to be successful, and I didn't want to be another disappointing Indian. - Sherman Alexie Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a form of service journalism.

That is true in food and in life. - Ron Benisrael In the United States there's a Puritan ethic and a mythology of success. He who is successful is good. In Latin countries, in Catholic countries, a successful person is a sinner. - Umberto Eco Being aware of your fear is smart. Overcoming it is the mark of a successful person. - Seth Godin Gold was not sure of many things, but he was definite about one: for every successful person he knew, he could name at least two others of greater ability, better, and higher intelligence who, by comparison, had failed. - Joseph Heller Every successful person I have heard of has done the best he could with the conditions as he found them, and not waited until next year for better. - E W Howe I wish to say to you that the life of an enlighte...

What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be a successful businessman. And so, I don't know what qualified means. - Sonny Bono My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe; I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession. - Arnold Schwarzenegger I had never seen hair that purely black. It was glossy and slightly long, the ends drifting over his collar. That sexy length was the crowning touch of bad boy hotness over the successful businessman, like whipped cream topping on a hot fudge brownie sundae.

I might as well take a nap. - Carrie Fisher I'm glad I'm successful at it, because it's allowed me to live very well financially, and give my kids a lot of things.

Maybe that's one reason I'm successful. - Calvin Klein The only thing to seek in contemplative prayer is God; and we seek Him successfully when we realize that we cannot find Him unless He shows Himself to us, and yet at the same time that He would not have inspired us to seek Him unless we had already f...

Whether I am successful or not is besides the point. - Ajay Devgan I'm a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course; but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back.

Welding's a mystery to me now. You can't go ba...

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store.
