"The greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising up every time we fall."

Motivator: Success is not an accident. It does not happen by chance. It requires more than good intentions. It requires thoughtful, detailed planning. We're sometimes averse 2 planning because we fear that it will somehow detract from the spontaneity and creativity of achievement. But planning is ultimately liberating, not confining. Without adequate planning u eventually run in2 impossible limitations. Certainly it is valuable 2 b creative and spontaneous. And thoughtful planning frees u 2 get more done and 2 b more creative. 4 the vast majority of those who achieve it, success does not come as a surprise. It results from devising a plan and then doing whatever is necessary 2 follow that plan through 2 completion. Marco
