Diamonds and Success

Ok, I got a famous quote out of a book. It says : a diamond is just a piece of coal that stuck to the job.

I love that!! How true. Most people miss opportunity because it disguises itself as work. In this instant gratification, microwave world we live in, no one wants to take time to become successful. They all want the fame and the money, but they don't want to work for it. Overnight success....that is what people crave.

Success= Einstein and Edison
Fame= Madonna

There is a distinct difference in the two. Fame may equal money, but not necessarily success. My Mama always told me if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Making $5,000 a month flipping foreclosed properties the first week...the one you see on late night TV...probably NOT true. Ha,ha,ha,ha.

I have learned as I get older, that I enjoy good honest work. Success will come when it's time, but I won't sit on my duff waiting for it. I'm going to go out and make it happen.

Think about that...
