The path to success consists of knowing your outcome, taking action, knowing what results you’re getting, and having the flexibility to change until you’re successful.

In any case the road to success is pictured as one beset with perils but which, it would seem, an individual with the proper qualities can overcome to attain the goal. The reward is seen in the distance; the way is lonely. Further on it is a route for wolves; one can succeed only at the cost of the failure of others.

There is no shortcut to success.

the success of a path does not make a path valid

any path is valid and worth trying

The path of least resistance is the path of the loser

*Only if you reject all the other paths can you discover your own path.

Every path but your own is the path of fate. Keep on your own track, then.

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.

In all affairs, whether large or small, there are few men who reach a happy conclusion except through the Way. If you do not succeed, you are bound to suffer from the judgment of men. If you do succeed, you are bound to suffer from the yin and yang. To suffer no harm whether or not you succeed - only the man who has virtue can do that.

The road to success is not always easy.

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs

People don’t fail by choosing the wrong path — they fail by not choosing.

There are no shortcuts to success. Being successful requires knowledge, preparation and persistence.

The first step to success is to accept the consequences of knowing that you're right, when that is the case. It is not so much a matter of being assertive, as of giving up the comfortable cocoon of apologies and guilt in which most of us have chosen to live.
