bar my success in life."

the world

again."

3. Have Perseverance and Confidence
"Life is not easy for any of us. But
what of that?
We must have
perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.
We must believe that we are gifted for
something and that this thing
must be attained."

this diminishes fear; knowing
what must be done does away with fear."

before you can see something.
You can have the evidence right in front
of you,but if you can't
imagine something that has never existed before, it's impossible."
