Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.
If you could do better, should you?
Of all the things that can have an effect on your future, I believe personal growth is the greatest.
Don't start your day until you have it finished on paper first.
You cannot change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
Walk away from the 97% crowd. Don't use their excuses. Take charge of your own life.
