A statement of truth, and that is: Everything I have accomplished is Thanks to the Lord above, and without him my success would have been impossible.
I am yet to meet the idiot at whose door success arrived as a direct result of his refusal to invest in the enterprise that made him rich.
Now I no longer wish to be loved, beautiful, happy or successful. I want one thing and one thing only - to be left alone.
Success will locate and visit you even if you are static wherever you are... But remember you are responsible for constructing the roads... Go, make the roads!
Give thinking the opportunity to be your everyday meal; you get nourished by the best success nutrients. You will never be deficient!
Your success lies behind your choices... To get there, you must choose it and drive your dreams in that chosen direction!
Success can locate and visit you even if you are static wherever you are... But you are responsible for constructing the roads... Go, make the roads!
I would have been trying to pitch a concept about my community to someone that most likely was not a part of that community.
