Adjustment Quote by Kerry James Marshall

“If you have a dream: Number one, make a plan. And then execute that plan. And there will be failures along that line. Don't let that discourage you. Because failure is part of the process ... make the necessary adjustments and you can be successful at whatever you do.” quote by Kerry James Marshall
