Do you have short-term goals you want to achieve? How about long-term goals? Do you want to be successful in life? Do you have all the answers on how to achieve success? Probably not - most people don’t. Spend a few minutes with these great leaders, and learn what they have to say about achieving success. You just might learn something!

1. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller
2. Do not let yourselves be discouraged or embittered by the smallness of the success you are likely to achieve in trying to make life better. You certainly would not be able, in a single generation, to create an earthly paradise. Who could expect that? But, if you make life ever so little better, you will have done splendidly, and your lives will have been worthwhile. Arnold Toynbee
3. Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles. Og Mandino
4. Everyone who achieves success in a great venture solved each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They kept going regardless of the obstacles they met. Clement Stone
5. Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it’s who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment. Anthony Robbins
6. Goals are your personal statements of what you are truly willing to do to achieve what you really want to achieve. Denis Waitley
7. He who has achieved success has worked well, laughed often and loved much. Elbert Hubbard
8. How do you achieve self-mastery? Mastery comes from confidence. Confidence comes from experience. Experience comes from practice. Practice comes from commitment. And commitment comes from vision. Randy Gage
9. If you achieve success, you will get applause, and if you get applause, you will hear it. My advice to you concerning applause is this; enjoy it but never quite believe it. Robert Montgomery
10. If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results. Anthony Robbins
