About Life and People
“There are four kinds of people in this world:
- those who make things happen
- those who watch things happen
- those who wonder what happened
- those who don’t know that anything happened!
I knew from a very early age that I wanted to be first on that list.”
“The world is full of people who are very quick to dream and very slow to act. Often it’s because they have failed to break big goals into manageable goals, but more often, it is a fear of failure. Many people are so afraid of failure, that they never try anything.”
“I believe that the only difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is extraordinary determination.”
Mary Kay Ash Quotes - about women
“Building a career can be extremely fulfilling. You will discover strengths and resolve weaknesses you never knew existed within yourself. But if you lose your family in the process, then I believe you will have failed. Success is so much more wonderful when you have someone to share it with. It’s no fun to come home and count your money by yourself.”
“We have an obligation to inject into world affairs all those traits which have long been considered female. These include such things as honor, integrity, love, and honesty. I believe it’s wrong for women to feel that they must emulate or copy men in order to succeed.”
Mary Kay Ash Quotes - about her company
“I became enraged every time I presented a good marketing plan and was dismissed with, “Mary Kay, you’re thinking like a woman. ” I knew that in my company “thinking like a woman” was going to be an asset, not liability!”
“When starting a company the usual process is to establish monetary goals, such as “We’re going to do $100,000 the first year,” So it’s natural that I’m often asked about my financial objectives when we first started Mary Kay Cosmetics. My answer usually surprises people – I didn’t have any. My objective was to give women the opportunity to do anything they were smart enough to do. And so to me, “P & L” meant much more than profit and loss; it meant people and love.”
