A Quote by Malcolm Gladwell

I want to convince you that these kinds of personal explanations of success don't work. People don't rise from nothing....It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel the logic behind who succeeds and who doesn't.

We can unravel the logic behind who succeeds and who doesn't.

Malcolm Gladwell

There are doubtless all kinds of ways of explaining why people want security, but I do not think we can start with the psychological explanations. Even psychological states like fear or desire for safety are conditioned by social and political forms of intimidation and scare-mongering that intensify those emotions, and even work to persuade people that nothing less than their survival is at stake.

Judith Butler

There are two kinds of films: the ones that are devoid of logic but can still hijack the audience, and those that can win them over with logic. Both kinds can succeed, and I like to work in both.

Fahadh Faasil

If you are not moving closer to what you want, you probably aren't doing enough asking. And you're probably not asking the single most important question that can help you achieve a higher level of success and personal fulfillment: How am I doing?

Jack Canfield

There are three kinds of explanation in science: explanations which throw a light upon, or give a hint at a matter; explanations which do not explain anything; and explanations which obscure everything.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

In evolution, as in all areas of science, our knowledge is incomplete. But the entire success of the scientific enterprise has depended on an insistence that these gaps be filled by natural explanations, logically derived from confirmable evidence. Because "intelligent design" theories are based on supernatural explanations, they can have nothing to do with science.

Bruce Alberts

The DS represents a critical moment for Nintendo's success over the next two years. If it succeeds, we rise to the heavens, if it fails, we sink into hell.

Hiroshi Yamauchi

Nothing succeeds so well as success.

Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

Nothing succeeds like success.

Alexandre Dumas

You have to connect on emotion not logic. People go on dates and it becomes a CV exercise. Logic is someone asking 'what do you do for a job?' when you should ask 'why do you do that? What is it you enjoy?'

Matthew Hussey

Logic can convince but only emotion can motivate.

Jonathan Alter

Nothing succeeds like reports of success.

Sue Sanders

Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.

Christopher Lasch

There's nothing wrong in going and asking people for work because that's what we do. We are asking, not begging for money. We, as actors, are selling and presenting ourselves.

Sana Khan

Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

Maya Angelou

If you have a successful run, everything comes to you. Nothing succeeds like success.

John Barry
