A Quote by Stephen Sondheim

Success is like failure, It's how you perceive it, It's what you do with it, not how you achieve it. — © Stephen Sondheim
Success is like failure, It's how you perceive it, It's what you do with it, not how you achieve it.
It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success.
Your success will have everything to do with how you perceive yourself, because how you perceive yourself is how others will perceive you, too.
I've come to realize that the difference in success or failure is not how you look, how you dress, or how you're educated. It's how you think !
When asked how to achieve success more rapidly, came the quick reply, 'Double your failure rate'.
You cannot achieve success without the risk of failure...You cannot achieve success if you FEAR failure.
What is failure? We can’t possibly know what failure is. Most people think they do, but that’s because they’re judging how their lives should be and what they need it to be: a success. Who is to say what’s a success and what’s a failure? Do your best. Trust. Relax. Do your best. Enjoy yourself.
I'd rather learn how to prevent failure than how to gain success, because for what is success other than a state of mind?
I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way, it is about answering to yourself.
The terror of failure can make you feel like a failure. So a bunch of people think you're not very good at your thing. How much do you invest in what they say? How much do you care? Failure is not putting yourself on the line.
We are all so preoccupied with ourselves. How can I get happy, how can I find the job I love, how can I become a millionaire, how can lose weight. Yet, the reality is that fulfillment, success and all of these good things comes from trying to help those that we care about to achieve those things.
Focus on how the end-user customers perceive the impact of your innovation - rather than on how you, the innovators, perceive it.
How do you achieve success? Well, for one thing, you don't define it before you achieve it.
The only real failure is the failure to try, and the measure of success is how we cope with disappointment.
Breast cancer is not just a disease that strikes at women. It strikes at the very heart of who we are as women: how others perceive us, how we perceive ourselves, how we live, work and raise our families-or whether we do these things at all.
People aren't afraid of failure, they just don't know how to succeed. We are each responsible for our own success (or failure). Winning at what you do is no exception. To ensure a win, you must take a proactive approach. Prevention of failure is an important part of that process.
Pain is not a punishment. And pleasure is not a reward. You could argue that failure is not punishment and Success is not reward. They're just failure and success. You can choose how you respond.
