"Good luck is a lazy man’s estimate of a worker’s success."

*-- Unknown Author

"Good fortune does not happen because of luck. When someone gets a promotion, some people see this as luck. If they took a closer look, however, they would soon recognize how much harder successful people have worked, how much effort they've given, and how much dedication and commitment they've demonstrated in order to go that extra mile."

*-- Catherine Pulsifer, from Luck, Do You Have It? 

"Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not 
tomorrow!" 

*-- Og Mandino 

"Better to wear out than rust out."

*-- Bishop Cumberland 

"I've had enough success for two lifetimes, My success is talent put together with hard work and luck." 

*-- Kareem Abdul-Jabar 

"You don't get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour." 

*-- Jim Rohn

"The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work."

*-- Mark Twain 

"I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work." 

*-- Thomas Edison 

"Work while others are wishing." 

*-- William Arthur Ward, from Believe while others ….

"Many people quit looking for work when they finally get a job." 

*-- Author Unknown, from Achieve Your Dreams 

"Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves." 

*-- Dale Carnegie 

"There is no substitute for hard work."

*-- Thomas Edison
