Every skill you acquire doubles your odds of success.
Scott Adams
If you drill down on any success story, you always discover that luck was a huge part of it. You can't control luck, but you can move from a
game with bad odds to one with better odds. You can make it easier for luck to find you. The most useful thing you can do is stay in the game.
Scott Adams
Publicity is easy to get. Just be so successful you don't need it, and then you'll get it.

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

has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
