Consistent Quote by Mark T. Sneed
““There is no instant anything. Overnight success is a lie. That lie is just one of many lies that youth want to believe, even though it’s not true. No one walks onto the field and dominates on the first day. That is not possible. Popularity, fame, riches are illusions. Being popular is short-lived. Fame is here today and gone tomorrow. Riches diminish. Being reliable, consistent, trustworthy those are things that people remember.” Excerpt From Bully Nation This material may be protected by copyright.””
