Today I've been surfing the net, trying to find some answers to the questions I have had in my head lately. Questions of success, money and how they are related. Hopefully I will post a blog on my conclusions at some point, but for now I will leave ya'll with this quote I stumbled upon that will certainly make me question some tings. Its from everybody's favorite leader of the free world: American president Barack Obama.

The context? It’s from a speech he delivered to the Campus Progress Annual Conference on 12 July 2006 when he was but a mere senator. Campus Progress is an American non-profit organization that promotes liberal political and social policy through support for progressive student activists and journalists on college campuses in the United States (yes that is ripped from wikipedia). He was speaking about how he motivated his volunteers to keep up the fight (pretty much a lesson on the heart of a servant). This is what he said:

“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”

LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION (may we forever persevere)
