Success Tip From Barack Obama

A few words from US President Barack Obama inspired me today. My first instinct was to share them with you.

  • “Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. it’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere”.
  • “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential”.

P.s – Incase you are wondering why I have been quiet over the last few days,  am working very hard in the background to revamp the blog.  The new site will be more community centric and will focus obsessively on success. Please read my blog post on Clarity, for more information.
