I have never yet met a successful person who hasn't had to overcome either a little or a lot of adversity in his or her life. If life there is a lot of lumps and bumps... a lot of throttling up and a lot of throttling down.
Harvey Mackay
There is no shame in taking pride in achievements or position. But nobody gets to the top alone.
Harvey Mackay
