Malcolm Gladwell Quotes

Work hard at everything you do. Never give up. Never quit. Many people have talents but without the hard work you won't get anywhere.

Take the word for it of a man who has made his way inch by inch, and does not believe that we'll wake up to find our work done because we've lain all night a-dreaming of it; anything worth doing is devilish hard to do!

I think my secret is that there's no shortcuts for hard work, determination and having that don't give up attitude.

A lot of times, people say that if you work hard and never give up, it will always work out, which is a great message. However, that's not always the case.

To strive tirelessly and at all times to reach one's goal - therein lies the secret of success.

I think that persistence and stubbornness and hard work are probably, at the end of the day, more important than the willingness to take a risk.

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try, and keep trying, for there is nothing to lose by trying and a great deal to gain if successful. By all means TRY! Do it NOW!!!

Sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.

Success is a function of persistence and doggedness and the willingness to work hard.

Genius is often a short way of spelling hard work. Poverty, obscurity, struggle and ambition formed the foundation for many careers of transcendent achievement. Few marks are made in the world's history by eight-hour-day men.... Sir Joshua Reynolds had but one maxim for success: Work, work, work. Is not rigid and continuous training necessary for the making of strong athletes? Hard work is not fatal to real success. Vouloir c'est pouvoir.

Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance.

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Success is carved out of a hard tree. It doesn't just happen. It's people who stick to it that succeed.

Everything good takes a great amount of effort. Like, things went wrong with 'Prozac Nation' so much, and it went through so many rejections and incarnations, but I felt so much that it needed to exist. But if I hadn't been so persistent and insistent, it wouldn't have happened.

The key to anyone's success is staying with it!

There was no giving up. Trying and trying. That's what I'm all about.

There is no substitute for hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting.

You never know when the break is going to come, so you have to keep plugging away.

Just keep going hard.

I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.

It's amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough. Most people give up too early.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Studies indicate that the one quality all successful people have is persistence. They're willing to spend more time accomplishing a task and to persevere in the face of many difficult odds. There's a very positive relationship between people's ability to accomplish any task and the time they're willing to spend on it.

Perseverance is a great element of success.

Whatever I lack in talent I have in stamina.
