About This Quote

Success is virulent. Once you get the bug then it’s in you. This quote by Paul Graham is a great reminder for all of us to be careful what we wish for. If we want a certain quality in our life, there is a good chance that we will get it.

If we want to be successful, then that is also something we can get if we want it bad enough. Successful people are not born with success, they become successful through their hard work and persistence. But, if they don’t have the desire or the drive to succeed, then success will never come to them no matter how hard they work at it.

In other words, once you have gotten the "virus" of success, it will become an addiction that you cannot live without.
