How I did it: "Keeping my nose to the grinder"

That's how success comes to you. But how to keep your "nose" there is most important -

1. Desire: you have to want to do this.
2. Commitment: your goal has to come before many things, especially your pleasures.
3. Dedication: anything worth doing is worth doing well - it's gonna take some of your valuable time.
4. Resources: if you don't have them, you best go get them!!
5. Perseverance: you gotta stay with this dream all the way through and into its realization.

Lessons & tips: If You Think ...

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t!
If you want to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost;
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of the mind.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger and faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

Walter D. Wintle

I guess at some time or another most of us doubt
our own ability. But, one thing I have discovered
in life is this. The only thing that can ever stop
you from doing or getting anything is a thought.
