In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity – Albert Einstein
How true is that, can you relate with it? There is a seed of equal or bigger opportunities during every difficulty.

6. Develop leadership skills to influence people

(Quote from the book – From Dreaming to Achieving, in LIFE – Chapter 1/Page 39)
Stop making excuses because no one wants to know your reason for not being successful, there are hundreds of people who did it in the same circumstances. Now it is your time to prove it.
