Success is not an elusive, intangible thing. It is something you can have if you don’t give up… no matter what the goal is. I read a quote by Ross Perot today that was, to me, profound… even if it is common sense:
Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touch down.
Starting a business? taking a new direction in life? Learning a new hobby or trade? Beginning a new relationship? I believe it’s all attainable. Just don’t give up.

Are you from oklahoma city?
Brian,
No, I’m from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I know I’m late to the party, but I thought I’d point out that a yard is three feet. So they’d be three feet from the winning touchdown.
Haha! Duly noted… that Perot… always the optomist!
