I clicked on this post because of your username. I just wanted to say that I am happy!
So does that now make you happy? LOL I'm doing as directed.
Actually, I'm not sure your quote is even correct. I think that really successful people are successful because they love what they do and are driven by it. Their passion forces them to ooze the thing they are working on from all the pores of their body.
:))) It does make me happy that you are happy! Great username! I picked this quote because I thought that if I made myself study more and work more I would be more successful. I assumed that really successful people do have more willpower to do all the hard work that leads to success. Hard work is still hard work regardless of how passionate you are about what you do.
Well, hard work is good for the soul and it can get you ahead. However, there is another saying: Work smarter, not harder.
I guess it all depends on the philosophy you wish to follow. Not every path is the same for everyone. We must all create our own destiny in the best way we know how. Many times success is just plain luck. Talk to 10 successful people and you will likely get 10 different stories. The big ticket, I think, is DON'T GIVE UP. Good luck with your studies! Always seek to learn and you should do fine.
