But when you try, make sure you follow through. I've met so many people who have accepted my proposal to write reports for me, but most of them would stop right in middle of their work and quit. They have drive to start, but they lack motivation to go through all difficulties. Yes, this is another fact of life. Those who persist may have some hell of a time at present, but they shall have last laugh.

Let's fast forward into future. Let's say you did try, you followed through, and you succeeded. Congratulations. So you became wealthy by reaping fruits of your labor. This does not mean you'll stay in that situation for good. Problems may rise again, so always be ready to adjust to current situation. The only thing permanent in this world is change.

If you need to sacrifice something for a better cause, then do it. If you have to miss your favorite show on TV or if you have to deny your friends' invitation to go out on a Saturday night so that you can devote more time to those activities that will lead you closer to your goals, so be it.

You may encounter difficulties. You may receive criticisms. You may even be regarded as being "different" or "strange" by other people. Don't let them discourage you. Just keep on striving, and success will be yours for taking.
