"Rely on the ordinary virtues that intelligent, balanced human beings have relied on for centuries: common sense, thrift, realistic expectations, patience, and perseverance." -John C. Bogle (1929-) American Investor

Motivator: If at first the task seems overwhelming, remember that u'll learn as u go along. Don't let a lack of knowledge stop u from setting ambitious goals. Much of what u'll need 2 know, u'll learn in the doing. Have u ever considered learning a new language? Does the prospect seem overwhelming? Well, u've done it before, and the first time u did it u were just a child. Not only did u learn a particular language, u learned the concept of language, 2. Whatever u need 2 learn, whether it is a language, a skill, or a new way of thinking, u'll find a way 2 learn it. U're good at that. It's how u've survived and grown, and made YOUR way in the world thus far.
