I cannot approve of this paragraph enough. In the industries I have found myself in, the only inklings of success I’ve ever seen come as a direct result of consistent effort co-mingled with sincerity and honesty. This also speaks so much to the necessity to follow one’s passion, one’s vision, one’s dream of life, rather then these get rich quick schemes that are indeed, in my experience of at least a dozen years, very foolish pursuits (and yes, I’ve followed many).
