Success is yours if you want it. Your destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of your choice. It's not something you wait for, but rather something you pursue. Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.
Opportunities often come disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
Start where you are. You're at this moment, standing right in the middle of opportunity. Act on your dreams and you can have them. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success. The only thing that stands between you and what you want from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
