"Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms." ― Damien Hirst Topic(s): Success More From Damien Hirst "I think art is good at looking back and looking forward. I don’t think art is good at looking head-on. At the end of the day, people are more important than paintings." "I always feel like the art’s there and I just see it, so it’s not really a lot of work." "No, I don’t believe in genius. I believe in freedom. I think anyone can do it. Anyone can be like Rembrandt." More In Success "Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom."― Euripides "Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life."― Vera Wang "If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom."― Sydney Madwed
