perseverance is a great substitute for talent.
consistently repeated daily actions + time = inconquerable results.
slight edge + happy habits = success
in life, there is no such thing as staying in the same place. There are no straight lines; everything curves. If you’re not increasing, you’re decreasing.
success: a few simple disciplines, repeated every day.
failure: a few simple errors in judgment, repeated every day.
Life is a curved construction; time is its builder, and choice its master architect.
For things to change, you’ve got to change. For things to get better, you’ve got to get better. It’s easy to do. But then, it’s just as easy not to do.
