You must be sincere and be willing to assume responsibility. And you need the self-discipline necessary to work towards your goals. Most millionaires are non-conformists. Writers are known for their individual traits and eccentricities. Your convictions and goals are your own business, even when you find help along the path.
Mentors often take people under their wings to nourish and teach.
Or spiritual guides will show you the path to attainment. But you're on your own to achieve. Cultivate a sense of justice and an ability to make decisions. Cooperate with everybody and develop your own self-respect. And follow good criticism and advice after you've judged carefully.
