I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love. Jimmy Carter
About This Quote

I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love. I believe that anyone can rise to the top with a little hard work and a lot of passion. I am not saying that everyone will become rich and famous, but it doesn't really matter who you are or where you come from as long as you work hard and never give up.
