Successful people's thoughts

1. Napoleon Hill did extensive research of the world’s richest men in his time. Their stories varied, but their commitment to their vision was a constant, and that set them apart from the mere mortals. Hill says do what you love, or else you will lack the energy to become truly successful. “No man can succeed in a line of endeavour which he does not like,” he writes.
2. “If you don’t love what you do, you won’t do it with much conviction or passion.” —Mia Hamm

3. “It is the soul’s duty to be loyal to its own desires. It must abandon itself to its master passion.” —Rebecca West

4. But Albert Einstein said it best: "I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” Imagine a great mind like that crediting passion as the catalyst to his success.

5. “You can't fake passion.” —Barbara Corcoran

6. “It is obvious that we can more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.” —T. S. Eliot 

7. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” —Harriet Tubman

8. “Yes, in all my research, the greatest leaders looked inward and were able to tell a good story with authenticity and passièon.” —Deepak Chopra

9. Richard St. John, who researched the lessons of success and wrote the best-seller The 8 Traits Successful People Have in Common, put it this way: “Do what successful people do and follow your heart, not your wallet. In the end, your wallet will be happy you did.”

10. “What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” —Bob Dylan
