Being Successful Quotes (page 26)

Kurt Cobain OD'd on heroin before committing suicide, but he also OD'd on fame. Cobain was like Basquiat: They both wanted to be famous, and were brilliant enough to make it happen. But then what?

In his suicide note, Cobain asked himself, "Why don't you just enjoy it?" and then answered, "I don't know!" It's amazing how much of a mindfuck success can be. Jay-Z
If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO? R. Buckminster Fuller

Why pray for the Kingdom of God to come unless you have in your heart a desire and a willingness to aid in its establishment? Praying for His will to be done and then not trying to live it, gives you a negative answer at once. You would not grant something to a child who showed that attitude towards a request he is making of you. If we pray for the success of some cause or enterprise, manifestly we are in sympathy with it. It is the height of disloyalty to pray for God’s will to be done, and... David O. McKay
People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it. Kate Moss

Our managers hadn't had that kind of success - the record company hadn't, we hadn't - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn't it would be some kind of failure. Roland Gift
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I just want to be reasonably successful and live a normal life with all the conveniences to make it so. Althea Gibson
All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure. Alberto Giacometti
Lou Gerstner quote: "You can never be comfortable with your success, you've got to..."
You can never be comfortable with your success, you've got to be paranoid you're going to lose it. Lou Gerstner
Well, you can't be trying to achieve success of any kind in this business without accepting that there's going to be a flip side to it. Jennifer Garner
