Mateo Askaripour
“You see, it's easy for someone to walk around telling everyone that they're "jus' waitin' for the right opportunity," but an entirely different thing when they actually receive it. An opportunity means change. An opportunity means action. But most of all, an opportunity means the chance of failure. And it's the potential of failure, more than failure itself, that stops so many people from beginning anything.”
Mateo Askaripour, Black Buck

Mark Twain
“The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”
Mark Twain
