Greatness Achieved Through Experience

  Lately I’ve been thinking.And I feel that there is something watching me from the other end of the road.I know what it is. It’s my career,my calling..........,my future.  Everyone in their lives at some point, entertained the idea that you were born to do something significant. But then high school happened. Or college. And your parents talked you into becoming a lawyer instead of an engineer. Perhaps a teacher told you med school was a smarter move than than an acting career. And you believe them.  When “real life” began, you gave up, but called it destiny instead and abandoned the dream altogether. You now make excuses for why wanting something extraordinary was somehow selfish and immature, and you wonder if any of those childish feelings were ever real in the first place.

The road to wealth is as plain as the road to the mill. It consists simply in expending less than we ear...
