Winners are not born; they
are made
The formula is a tool in winning…but one must note that winners
won not only because of the strategy but also due to
consistency.
The finish line maybe far and winning is not as easy as it sounds.
However, carry on and do not be discouraged! Good strategy
plus consistency makes one a winner.
