“If you can't find the key to success, pick the lock. Some people succeed because they are destined to, but most people succeed because they are determined to. Yesterday's failures are today's seeds that must be diligently planted to be able to abundantly harvest tomorrow's success. Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a tempo- rary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.”
