Hemingway rewrote the ending of his book, Farewell to Arms, 39 times before he was satisfied.

Believing that you can do it may just be the thing that

makes you successful.

Hunger for Originality

You have to do it first, and you have to

do it right.

You know what you want, and you commit

yourself to doing whatever it takes to

achieve it.

Until you’re done, you’re just wasting

time and you haven’t proven yourself.

What’s the next step?

You can’t stand still. You have to adapt. You have to be willing to

embrace change.

Critical

You are not afraid to express your opinion, even if it might hurt...

ouch!
