Seasoned advice on how to achieve your goals

More than 400 quotes and passages from celebrities, Nobel prize winners, CEOs, and entrepreneurs comprise this collection on how to make, meet, (or even exceed) your career goals. Included are passages from Oprah Winfrey on leadership, Arnold Schwarzenegger on discipline and willpower, Katharine Graham on finding the right mentor, and Francis Crick on teamwork, as well as quotes from hundreds of other highly successful people. All contributors tackle the big questions: What does it take to find career success? Where does one start? Their answers are insightful, instructive, motivating, and often amusing.

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. — Sir Winston Churchill

I race neither for glory, for money, nor to be the first rider to win six Tours of France: I simply like the competition. — Lance Armstrong

The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but on significance—and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning. — Oprah Winfrey

• Beautiful hardcover gift book affordably priced at $12.95

• Designed for students and professionals at any stage of their career, or for anyone in search of succinct and entertaining lessons or "career advice"

Synopsis:

How did Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, Jeffrey Bezos, David Sedaris, and Macy Gray get where they are today - and how can you get the same edge?

Success is a collection of insights from more than 400 remarkably successful people in all fields - including business, politics, entertainment, and the arts. Here are quotes and passages from J.K. Rowling and Federico Fellini on getting started, and Steve Jobs and Tiger Woods on passion. Here, too, are George Lucas and Bill Clinton on goals, Katie Couric and George Foreman on competition, and Edmund Hillary and Carly Fiorina on leadership.

The high achievers quoted here share one crucial belief: Success is possible as long as there's passion. If you know where you want to be but not how to get there, use Success as your guide.
