The first step toward success

“The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion… It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.”     Alexander Graham Bell

“Making a success of the job at hand is the best step toward the kind you want.”     Bernard Mannes Baruch

“The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed.”     Nelson Boswell

“I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult…. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.”

“Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to.”     Mark Twain
