"Success Is A Sum of Small Efforts, Repeated Day in and Day Out." Robert Collier

“Success is a sum of small efforts,
repeated day in and day out.”

Robert Collier.
You ask me what I call Success-
It is, I wonder, Happiness?
It is not wealth, it is not fame,
Nor rank, nor power, nor honoured name.
It is not triumph in the Arts –
Best-selling books or leading parts.
It is not plaudits of the crowd,
The flame of flags, processions proud.
The panegyrics of the Press
Are but the mirage of Success.
You may have all of them, my friend,
Yet be a failure in the end. By Robert William Service.
