obstacle.

do not mean you cannot become successful.

do and be better than you.

them, not doing things to develop you and your dreams.

10. Your dream requires
100% focus

attention in developing yourself and your dream.

dream.

mind that anything could be your dream.
• Sometimes you might have an uncommon
strength or passion that is completely different

an opened mind to try out different things.

that you have unlimited
possibilities and opportunities, and not

way, term, and lifestyle.

the less time you would have to stay focus on
