There are some things you don’t have to know how it works – only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on “Dare to be what you ought to be; dare to be what you dream to be; dare to be the finest you can be. The more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!”
– Norman Vincent Peale

– Hakeem Olajuwon
If you…
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects
– Albert Einstein
Success…
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it
