It is not how you start that counts, but how you finish. The past does not equal the future.
Begin afresh with hard work, avoid distractions, remain focused and you will immediately see progress.
Steve Jobs did not have a great start to life. Neither did Barrack Obama. Both of them did not turn out too shabby!
Some start strong but are unable to sustain success. They either burn out because they are not balanced, or get distracted.
The beauty of life is that it gives you the opportunity every single day to begin afresh. What a blessing to have that opportunity!
