Quotes

We asked models, titleholders, and contestants to email us their definition of success. The top 15 submissions are posted right here for YOU to read.  These quotes are insightful, meaningful, and everlasting. We originally began a competition among the top 15 and told them they were to have their fans, friends, and family members vote on their favorite quotes. We explained that the top 3 with the highest votes would be published. Little did they know, they will ALL be published. So you ask, what was the competition for then? The top 3 will receive…… drum roll….. an exclusive interview with editor in Chief, Sherrie Gearheart, and appear twice in Tiara Magazine. Once for their Quote as the people’s choice, along with all of the other winners and also in our spring issue with their exclusive interview. The top 3 were chosen by our subscribers and readers like YOU, along with their entourage’s votes. And the three winners are…

1. Kelly Waite  2.  Jennifer Martin  3. Mariah Faith Reynolds

You can read everyone’s definition of success below.


“Success is doing what you love while helping humanity. Success is not defined by our stature, clothing, or creed. Success is defined by the integrity of our word and good deed.”

Name: Kaitlyn Dinneh Wozniak
Title: National Maryland Miss 2011
Definition: Successes vary from person to person, thus it cannot be defined by a concrete “goal”; Rather, its definition should be open to many goals and accomplishments. So, to me success is the setting of goals and achieving them through hard work and determination. And, the ability, upon achieving those goals, to look back over your journey and feel proud of your efforts.
Name: Mariah Faith Reynolds
Title: World’s Jr. Teen Miss Ohio Tourism 2011
My definition of Success…. when the last child is fed, when the last war is fought, when the last illness is cured, when the last racist thought has been banished, when prejudice no longer exists, when bullying ceases and love abounds, kindness encompasses hearts, charity thrives, friendship flourishes and tolerance prospers.

Name: Whitney Barnes

Title: World’s Mrs. Southern States Tourism
I define success as win or lose if you can learn from it and move forward that within itself is success.

Title:2011 Houston County’s Mrs. Heart of America
Success= success is not measured by how much money you have or materialistic things.  Success is when you feel like you have achieved your goal, no matter how big or minute it is. To some..it may be the professional who makes millions with a mansion and luxury vehicles. For most,  it is just having a roof over your head, not being hungry, and surrounded by the ones you love.

Name: Jennifer Martin
Title: World’s Miss Georgia Tourism Ambassador
My definition of success is the feeling you get when you help someone else that needs it and they are grateful for what you did without giving you something to reward you for what you did.


Name: Emma Bellomy
Title: Mrs. West Virginia U. S. Beauties 2011
Success has many levels of degree that is different for each person, such as family, business, or personal. Success can be as simple as setting a goal and achieving it! Being successful for one person could be the total opposite for another person, so keeping it simple…Success is achieving or accomplishing something in your life that has meaning to you!!

Success is the reward to acheiving the obstacle set before you. Success is Failing over and over again, before reaching the intended goal.

Name: Kelly Waite
Title: Miss United Kingdon Tourism 2011
When you strive to follow your dreams whatever they may be..never giving up no matter who may try to bring you down..being able to hold your head high each day because you know you are worth that..being able to look in the mirror and love the person who is staring back..treating others the way you would like to be treat..inspiring people in any way you can whether its sharing your achievements or hard times that you have over come and think your experience could help others…being able to look back on something you gave your heart and sould to whether its watching seeds grown into flowers that you planted …being able to know yourself inside out ..giving birth..or even painting a picture ..success is everything you think it could be..success is everything you do that makes you proud..happy..or content..some people find success in every morning others after a hard day at work..I find mine in the constant battle of over comming my shyness..using my pageant title to help others and share my past to help others in their future..just follow your heart and every day will be a success no matter how small it may seem to others to you it may be huge and that is all that matters..if you believe anything is possible and success will be inevitable.

“Every day have the courage to be your best self.  Use all your gifts and talents to make a difference in your’s and other’s lives.  Never miss an opportunity to share a smile with a stranger, a wave to a friend, or a kiss with a relative.  Pray and trust in Him.  Never do work with less than your best effort.  If you do all these things with love and compassion, success will find you; you will not have to worry about chasing it!”

“Having people know your name and being able to make a difference in this world.”

Name: Cindy McDonald
Title: Titleholder My definition of success is simply that you can carry a smile on your face no matter what your circumstance might be. It is important to have a positive attitude no matter what life brings our way. In fact some of the most successful people/celebs have come from a not so rosy background but they beat the odds by remaining constant and keeping the faith that they had something better on the horizon by not giving up. Smile.. and make the world a better place by sharing yours!

“If it wasn’t one time truly impossible, then it truly wasn’t great, Success is when you become the vision you created. With success comes hard work, in order to succeed we have to fail; failure is temporary, quitting is permanent. Success is the un-explainable human will that smiles when it’s raining, lends a hand when needed, and we see the negative layers shed off of us to only see the vision of imperfection that is our perfection. Our scares are success, love, compassion, forgiveness is all success. It is not measured by any standard other than what makes you ignite with new unbreakable vision.”
