The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

Napoleon Hill

By working hard, old man, I hope to make something good one day. I haven't yet, but I am pursuing it and fighting for it.

Vincent van Gogh

Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now.

Paulo Coelho

James Clear
