Success Does Not Come Easy

Borrowed from Mac Anderson's "The Nature of Success", Mr. Anderson talks about the lesson he learned from a friend's grandmother. Mac was having such a rough week and his friend shared with him what his grandmother told him: "Inch by inch, life's a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard." Mac says that " success doesn't come cascading like the Niagara Falls; it comes one drop at a time through short-term realistic goals. If you believe you can do something (the goals are realistic) , you're likely to be highly motivated. If, however, you think you can't (because the goals unrealistic) your motivation level falls greatly." (Taken from Tenacity Book by Francisco Colayco)
