MOTIVATION
Give the man you'd like to be a look at the man you are.
OPPORTUNITY

Persistence is the ability to face defeat again and again without giving up…to push on in the face of great difficulty. Persistence means taking pains to overcome every obstacle, to do all that’s necessary to reach our goals.
