— James Bay on if meeting Taylor Swift was a highlight of his year. (x)

“Of course I was - it was totally surreal. She’s one of the most successful people in pop, right at the top of the ladder. Whether you like her music or not, you have to recognize her success. The crazy thing was she had been listening to my music. That was cool and mind blowing. You never expect to be in that situation.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. ‘Never leave that ‘til tomorrow,’ he said, ‘Which you could do today.’ This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it had a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong. What if you make a mistake you can’t undo. Whatever it is we’re afraid of, one thing holds true. That by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it. It can feel like we’re carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically.”

— Steve Maraboli

“It is in the balancing of your spirituality with your humanity that you will find immeasurable happiness, success, good health, and love.”

~ Swami Vivekananda

Take up one idea! Make that idea your life, Think of it. Dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles,nerves every part of your body be full of that idea and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

― Mark Twain

“All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; 

then success is sure.”

— Bette Midler

“The worst part of success is trying

 to find someone who is happy for you.”

Tips for Becoming More confident

1. Stop discounting your successes - start affirming them instead. Don’t say “Oh, it’s nothing” or “Everyone could do that”. Treat, and talk to, yourself as you would a good friend.

2. Develop a positive attitude, and choose to get your mind off the negatives. For example, write down three things that went well each day, and three separate things that you are thankful for.

3. Work on your appearance; make an effort to look good. That doesn’t always have to cost the earth – and you’ll feel much happier and more confident.

4. Don’t be a doormat – or just follow the crowd. Think about your needs and what YOU want from life.

5. Be willing to take risks. If you don’t take a risk then nothing’s going to change – and you’ll be stuck in a rut going nowhere in life.

Success and happiness

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

But the real fact,

SUCCESS

Everybody will say,

"Mistake is the first step of success"

But the real fact,
