Every great success, in business or in your personal life, begins with a dream or vision. But the road from dream to reality is full of obstacles. When everything in your life goes wrong and the barriers in your way seem insurmountable, you will face a choice between giving up and persevering. You will face a choice between hope and cynicism.

Contrary to popular belief, it is perseverance that distinguishes ordinary and extraordinary success ? not intelligence and talent. Dreams and perseverance are a winning formula for success.
