Motivational Warren Buffett Quotes

 Still going strong at the age of 90 Warren Buffett is indeed one of the most successful investors ever.  With a net worth of over $80 billion, he has shown that prudence and common sense can be very useful tools for investing, something that he has done since the age of 11.  Starting with a paper route, the Oracle of Omaha's business life went through the University of Nebraska and the Columbia Business School before creating Buffett Partnership in 1956.  This led to buying a textile firm called Berkshire Hathaway that became the namesake of his very successful holding company.

Motivational Quotes About Learning From Failure

There are very few quotes from successful people that say they succeeded with very little effort or on their first try.  Failure is a part of achieving success because that is where we learn from mistakes and apply those lessons.  Successful people learn to adapt, try a different approach and gain the knowledge required to realize their dreams.  

As the quotes show, accepting the lessons of failure applies to many walks of life, whether it be celebrity, sports, writing or business.  As Abraham Lincoln said, "My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure."
