 The secret is that successful people formed the habit of
doing what unsuccessful people don’t like to do.
 If you don’t deliberately form good habits then you will
unconsciously form bad ones.
 Your burning desire to achieve your goal overrides the
pain of doing the things you don’t want to do.
