How to succeed? Try hard enough.

The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
The best vision is insight.
One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks.

Victory is sweetest when you've know defeat. Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. You pay for everything, even including speaking your mind (with or without one). Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.
