Confidence is the first secret to success. Arrogance and conceit are the quicksand of success. Determination is strength, and confidence is success. Success is the touchstone of merit and fault, and the prerequisite for success is precisely confidence. The secret to success lies in a resolute determination. Whether success or failure, it all depends on oneself. Many failures will eventually lead to one success; continuous striving is the path to success. If you do not focus wholeheartedly on one thing, you will never achieve a single goal. Success is built through effort, not hope. The secret to success lies in never changing your purpose. Your sorrow is as long as my despair. The highest achievement in the art of success is beauty. Those who consult below make no mistakes; those who act with the masses face no obstacles. Success is not what matters most; effort is what truly counts. One ounce of forbearance can control a hundred acts of bravery; one moment of stillness can control a hundred movements. The world makes way for those with goals and vision. The only secret to success is to persist until the last minute. Pyramids are built stone by stone. I succeed because I aim to succeed, and I never hesitate. Success does not favor the lazy; rather, it awakens the lazy. Strive desperately for success, but do not expect it to be guaranteed. Things that seem hopeless can often succeed if boldly attempted. Both easy and difficult success can equally stimulate human ambition.
自信是成功的第一秘诀。高傲自大则是成功的流沙。决心即力量，信心即成功。成功是功与过的试金石，而成功的先决条件正是信心。成功的秘诀端赖坚毅的决心。不论成功或失败，皆存乎自己。许多次失败总会造就一次成功，不断的奋斗就是走上成功之路。不成心专一事，决不能达成一志。成功是用努力，而非用希望造成。成功之秘诀，在始终不变其目的。你的忧伤，像我的绝望那样漫长。成功的艺术处理的最高成就就是美。谋及下者无失策，举及众者无顿功。成功并非重要的事，重要的是努力。一忍可以制百勇，一静可以制百动。世界会向那些有目标和远见的人让路。成功的唯一秘诀——坚持最后一分钟。金字塔是用一块块的石头堆砌而成的。我成功，因为志在要成功，我未尝踌躇。成功决不喜欢会见懒汉，而是唤醒懒汉。拼命去争取成功，但不要期望一定成功。本来无望的事，大胆尝试，往往能成功。容易成功和难于成功同样能刺激人的愿望。
