This is what you will remember. Every time you want to do…
““This is what you will remember. Every time you want to do anything other than working towards your goals, I want you to remember what you felt under the water. That’s, my lad, how you will know if you are on the right track. If even for a second you don’t strive the same way for success, then I want you to remember these words- “You will never be successful” and then I want you to sacrifice whatever you were doing and rush to the ground.””
