Certainty Quote by Rasheed Ogunlaru
““So called ‘success’ is the marriage of your mindset, skill-set and resourcefulness in any given context. But there are few guarantees and no perfect recipes for it. It is subjective and shifts - and is dependent on the flow of life’s wider events- which is why it is so often illusive.””
