"Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals." ― Paul J. Meyer Topic(s): Success More From Paul J. Meyer "Communication – the human connection – is the key to personal and career success." More In Success "I auditioned for a solo in church and got it. I was about seven and I sang a song called, ‘Jesus, I Heard You Had a Big House’ and I remember people standing up at the end and me thinking, ‘Oh, I think I’m going to like this.’ That’s how it all began. Sounds funny to say you got your start in church, but I did."― Kristin Chenoweth "Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon."― Booker T. Washington "We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success."― Arthur Schopenhauer
