Walk away from the 97% crowd. Don't use their excuses. Take
charge of your own life.
You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the
circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change
yourself. That is something you have charge of. You don't
have charge of the constellations, but you do have charge of
whether you read, develop new skills, and take new classes.
Note - The above quotes are from Jim Rohn's web site.
