| Erfolg besteht darin, dass man... Success consists of having the right skills just when are needed. Explanation: Quoted in "odu"'s PDF file (page 2) in the link, but I couldn't find it elsewhere. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2006-06-29 14:32:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- that should be "just when they are needed" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2006-06-29 14:34:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Could this possibly be a back-translation from the German?

| Erfolg besteht darin, dass man... Success is Explanation: Success is, having the right skills, at [precisely] the right time. Another option, although it might also be translated back from German (.de domain). There are quite a few Ford quotes starting with "Success is" but unfortunately I've only found one reference for this one: http://www.zimmermann-sb.de/index.php?idcatside=39〈=2 This [original] quote might also be an option: Success is a matter of adjusting one’s efforts to obstacles and one’s abilities to a service needed by others. http://www.usdreams.com/FordW19.html http://quotations.about.com/od/stillmorefamouspeople/a/Henry...
