William A. Ward

We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters… that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.

It’s next to impossible to build a successful business without relationships.

You’ve achieved success in your field when you don’t know whether what you’re doing is work or play.

If you want to double your success rate, you need to double your failure rate.

My life is a success – I am a happy man.

I’ve always won, and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.

One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people-I categorize them as life’s losers-who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

I don’t cheat to win, I’d rather lose.

There’s always something about your success that displeases even your best friends.

There are only two rules for being successful. One, figure out exactly what you want to do, and two, do it.

I was determined to succeed in what I loved to do. I wasn’t going to let my disability stand in my way.

If you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.

I don’t think people get to be successful without ambition.

Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.

People who are fools don’t get successful, and they don’t get to be successful if they are worried about their popularity.
