successPray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it.

If we get our self-esteem from superficial places, from our popularity, appearance, business success, financial situation, health, any of these, we will be disappointed, because no one can guarantee that we’ll have them tomorrow. An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame. Failure is not our only punishment for laziness there is also the success of others. They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
