don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. They avoid procrastination with patience to do simple things perfectly in order to acquire the skills to do difficult things easily. They reduce the complexity of life by eliminating the needless wants of life thus reducing their labor. They simplify their task by eliminating the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.
It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges. We have to expect things of ourselves before we can do them, because if we can believe it, the mind can achieve it. The first key is enthusiasm as nothing was ever achieved without the excitement, inspiration, motivation, and a pinch of creativity. The second key is persistence as in the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength, but through persistence.
This world belongs to the energetic. Over all the principle is competing against ourselves with a will of never giving up. It’s about self-improvement, about being better than we were the day before.
