Over the years, I’ve crossed paths with many people who were extremely successful as well as some who were such miserable failures that, as Mama liked to say, “ain’t worth the breath they draw.” Many are the times that I have pondered the difference between those who succeed and those who seem to roll over and give up. Here would be a logical place to say talent, intellect, ambition, energy and common sense paves the way to achievement while laziness, poor decisions and addictions throw obstacles in the way.
