- Albert Einstein The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half-done already. - Henry Ford “What Constitutes Success” By Bessie Stanley (1905) He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction. Edison said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." Which of the authors above most closely shares Edison’s point of view?
