Quote by Maxwell Maltz

Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.

Often the difference between a successful man and a failure

Summary

This quote emphasizes that success is not solely determined by one's abilities or ideas, but rather by the courage to believe in and act upon those ideas. It suggests that taking calculated risks and being proactive are vital qualities that differentiate successful individuals from those who fail to achieve their goals. Simply having skills or brilliant ideas alone is not enough; it is the willingness to take a chance on oneself, despite the uncertainty of the outcome, that sets achievers apart from those who cannot overcome their fears.
