The Four C's

"Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C's. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence."
Walt Disney (1901-1966)

Motivational quotes are usually characterized by the summation of a concept into the fewest poignant words possible. And Walt Disney's quote about the secret to success is no exception.

Disney, the co-founder of a company that is now worth approximately $3.5 billion, is best known for his work in the entertainment industry, especially the creation of the some of the world's most popular fictional characters (Wikipedia).

Although Disney named four factors that he believed play an instrumental role in success, he named confidence as the greatest--to which I can very easily relate.

When undertaking new projects and striving to accomplish new goals, oftentimes a strong belief in one's capabilities and the eventual fruition of the endeavor itself allows for everything else to fall into place.

  2. Ok... now I know that the 4 C's are. My first comment was done when I just saw the title of it, there was no blog on it yet.

    I am a big fan of Walt Disney and all of his products. You name it from the shows, figurines, and the music. Heck, I was an employee at a Disney store!

    He truly is one of my favorite people because his work has really made an impact with everything. The products that come from Disney are all educational and they can fit any age range.
