Success has a lot to do with luck, but it also involves a lot of real hard work. The thing about success is you really can't gauge things by album sales.

Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence.

Real success is finding you lifework in the work that you love.

There's no escalators - there's only staircases to success. There is no substitute for hard work.

Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better.

Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success.
