Desire & Work

ByMatthew

If life was so easy that you could just go buy success, there would be a lot more successful companies in the world. Successful enterprise are built from the ground up. – Lou Gerstner

The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat. – Napoleon Hill

Money can’t buy happiness, nor can it buy success.

Success must be earned.

How do you “succeed?”

By desiring it more than safety, or comfort.

Small, tepid desire = small tepid results.

Big, massive, hot desire = big, massive, hot results.

You get to decide every day by what you choose.

Choose big desire.

Choose to build.
