Colin Donnell Quotes

There is no evidence that success in business will make us happy people or allow us to have happy families.

That my business success is equal to my personal life.

I think if I manage to juggle a personal life that I'm really happy with as well, as long as I manage to maintain balance, that's kind of the mark of success to me.

I have a full and satisfying life. My work and my family are very important to me.

Instead of this fruitless debate about having it all, men and women should focus on what make us happy. Instead of comparing our lives with people we don't know who are making sacrifices we don't see, we should try to find the right balance between home and work life.

Since I turned 50, I've had the best year of my life and I now throw as much effort into the social side of my life as I do work - more so now than ever before.

I don't think you are truly successful unless you are a happy person and are happy with your life. I know many people who are professionally successful but miserable.

If I am happy in my personal life, I will be happy in my profession.

I had a good career. I've been very fortunate.

My personal goals are to be happy, healthy and to be surrounded by loved ones.

I don't know anyone that says, 'Boy, I had a great career, and I'm happy because I screwed up my life outside of my career, my family life.' There's no one that feels that way.

A lot of money with the wrong career is not going to make you happy. If you have money without happiness, it doesn't mean anything. It's all about happiness.

I think many women are successful in their professional lives - they are making the money and all that - but in their personal lives are a complete mess, because they haven't paid any attention to it, because they spent all of their time being successful.

As your career grows, the list of things that makes you happy should not become smaller, it should become bigger.

There are going to be priorities and multiple dimensions of your life, and how you integrate that is how you find happiness.

I think the most important thing is to achieve what you set out to achieve. Just being a CEO in itself is not success. I would not relate success to a title or a position.

Yes, I've worked very hard and made sacrifices along the way, but I'm in the very privileged position of doing something that I love every single day - and earning a living from it.

I am Brazilian, and I can't offer my best performance if I'm not happy in every aspect of life.

I've had a great career and had a lot of fun.

I believe we are built to have thriving personal lives, and I think we're built to have thriving professional lives. Where the error occurs is when one becomes secondary to the other.

A social life is just as important to me as my work life because I think if you have a healthy balance of the two, you'll be really happy.

I have been able to balance work and my personal life, and with the presence of a partner, I am stronger and better prepared to face the ups and downs.

Other people want a career or success because they think that will help them find their personal life somewhere. I've done it the other way around. What I have is what everybody else is looking for. I know I've got it made. I know I'm a very lucky man. That came first. Then the music and the career just kind of took care of themselves.

If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.
