The Bottom Line Face it Nobody owes you anything. What you achieve, or fail to achieve in your lifetime Is directly related to what you do or fail to do. No one chooses his parent or childhood, But you can choose your own direction. Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome, But that too is relative to each individual. Nothing is carved in stone! You can change anything in your life If you want to badly enough. Excuses are for losers! Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners in life. Winners meet life challenges head on knowing there are no guarantees, and give it all they've got and never think it's too late or too early to begin. Time plays no favorites and will pass whether you act or not. Take control of your life Dare to Dream and take risks... Compete! If you aren't willing to work for your goals, don't expect others to. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!"
