Is today the day we awaken with our mind wide open ?

From about the time we become a teen, we all face days where we face adversityof some kind. Sure, many days are normal, get up and go days. Go to school or go to work . You go through your nomal routine that you’ve been accustomed to and you go through the motions. You learn how to make friends and how to get learn right from wrong and how to survive in the work place . Bottom line is that if you work hard and do your best, you will excell at what you do. That formula is a proven formula that has worked for centuries-right ? What about all the outside variables ? Who prepares us for that ?  Is there a way to know as a 12 year old that some people are going to like you just because they like you,and others are going to dislike you because they think youre fat or ugly or black or poor ?  What about in business? Is it about being prepared ? Is success about education or is it about knowledge ? Is there a difference between the two ? I think so. You can have 8 years of college education and 2 degrees and someone with just 2 years of college could have far more success . Do you think that success is more about the mind and about confidence and about attitude and about believeing in your abilities than it is about anything else.  I mean-yes-You must establish a perception about yourself and that starts with respect. You must give it and you must earn it. And then you must work to prove to yourself that you can succeed. Education is important-but a degree does not equate to intelligence. Your mind can guide you through any obstacle you face every day and allow you to live life. Lorenzo Victory http://www.lorenzovictory.com/
