In business, stirring the proverbial pot can be a good thing. And while negotiating these matters can be challenging -- especially when they involve our teammates or bosses -- differences in opinion will often lead to progress.

Gratitude

"Everything you have experienced has lead you to this moment.  Gratitude is an important element in anyone's success.  Ask around, ask your friends about being grateful.  You might be surprised at what they tell you."

Talent

You have so much talent and ability.  Stretch yourself and have lofty goals.  Remember everything that has been created began as a thought in someone's mind.  You can create too.  Believe in yourself and don't let fear stand in your way.

Don't give up!

It will be hard sometimes and you may want to quit.  You may not understand why but something inside of you says Keep Going.  Do it; give it your best shot each and every time.  You may not win again but you cannot lose forever.
