"Lack of DIRECTION, not lack of TIME is the problem. We all have 24 hour days."

"Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it."

There is a difference between attitude and self-image. Self-image means how you view yourself, but attitude is about how you represent the rest of the world.You must change your attitude towards problems like you are facing this problem because of your own fault and you must learn how to react to such situations in real life.

It's the only way.And you should know comfort zone is a nice place but nothing ever grows there.

#5 WORK

"Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation. "

"The problem is not the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem."

“You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”
