Top Motivational Quotes That Led Me to Success

Thomas Edison’s most remarkable invention was the light bulb, which took about 1000 tries before finally making a successful bulb. A reporter asked Edison, “How did it feel failing 1000 times?” Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1000 times, the light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps.”
'Safety' is the biggest risk
Life is full of ups and downs. During failure, you become disappointed and feel powerless. In difficult times, you need motivation which inspire you to keep fighting. The source of motivation can be in any form, it can be a thought, a quote, an ambition, a book, your ideal, a person or God!  I will quote some great success quotes which helped me a lot to tackle with difficult times; they taught me to be strong and became my source of power; they led me to real success and happiness. Thoughts are so powerful they can change your life and even the world.
