Nobody is defeated until he starts blaming somebody else. If you don't stop where you're going, you'll end up where you're headed. He who goes for what he wants, will get it that much quicker. The majority sees the obstacles, and only a few see the objectives. History records the latter.
Few things are harder to put up with, than the annoyance of a good example.
Luck is a loser's excuse for a winner's commitment. Goals are perspiration, Dreams will always be the Inspiration. Jump to the Kropf.
