Against all odds. I think that should be the motto of every person that is striving to be successful. The "odds" can be almost be anything: a lack of money, a lack of experience, a lack of self esteem and the list goes on and on. But to become successful, one has to over everyone of them and anything negative that comes your way.

You may have a dream that you "know' will come through, but as soon as you tell a love one it is immediately shot down.What do you do? Go against the odds. You are building a business but there are still no visible signs of success, what do you do? Give up or rise against the odds, you choose. You are in a long term relationship but suddenly things look shaky, what do you do? Give up all you have achieved or go against the odds? Again you choose.

Persistence. Anyone who has been successful in life has that weapon in their "success arsenal". When the odds are weighing against you heavily, a dose of persistence will see you through. Persistence is the stuff dreamers and achievers are made of, and it will help you overcome any obstacle on your journey to success. My friends, apply this remedy to your life's situations and you will realise that it was really worth it - going against all odds.

To your success and mine,

Nicholas
