Be a James Bond:

* You don’t STOP when you’re tired. You STOP when you’re done.

* You get used to REJECTION and you don’t take it personally. 

* Talk too much and they think you are a FOOL. Be SILENT and they become CURIOUS. 

* If you’re not willing to RISK it all, you don’t want it bad enough.

* If you are going to do it, do it with PASSION.

When you think you know everything, you are wrong. The mind is like a parachute. Keep it open and always KEEP GROWING and remember this, PRESSURE makes Diamonds 💎
