DIAMONDS ARE MADE FROM PRESSURE
Ask yourself this question: what am I really aiming at? 
To rise against overwhelming odds or to beg off with a beautiful sympathetic excuse? The world will always give you opportunities to quite trying. One of the most powerful success principles ever preached us. "NEVER GIVE UP" Granted, it may be the toughest point of your life, but who had ever had a smooth ride to success.

>Thomas Edison, one of the greatest investors of all times, dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, began where he stood by the dreams into action, and despite 10,000 failures, he stood by the dream until he made it a physical reality. SUCCESSFUL MEN DON'T QUIT!

Times of general calamity and confusion have ever been productive of the greatest minds. 

_The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace, and the pressure made diamonds
The obstacles of life are indeed to make us better and not bitter_ consider these examples: 

>_John Buyan wrote THE PILGRIMS PROGRESS, which is among the finest English literature, after he had been confined in prison_.

>_Helen Keller became dumb, deaf and blind shortly after birth. Despite her greatest misfortune she has written her name indelible in the pages of history. Through her perseverance, millions of blind people can read, thanks to her braille. Her entire life has served as an evidence that no one ever is defeated, until defeat has been accepted as a reality_.

The Chinese has this proverbs that says _"the gem cannot be polished without friction"_, no man can be perfected without trials. It seems that trials are the necessary preparation for greatness, nobody is doomed to "ILL-LUCK". Nobody, nothing can keep you down unless you decide not to rise again. >_H.E Jason said "The man who wins may have counted off many times but he didn't hear the referee. The choice of giving on is a define moment in your life. You cannot turn back the hand of the clock, but yOu can wind it up_. Peter Lowe said _"The most common trait I have seen all people that are successful is that they have conquered the temptation to give up"_

Listen to Clare Broth Luce _"There are no hopeless situations, there are only men and women who has grown hopeless about them"_
The struggles of today are but the best price we must pay for the accomplishment of victory tomorrow. Yes adversity is another way of measuring an individual greatness.
Remember that procrastination is a thief of time. So I advice you to start up again more constructively and be calculative. The only place to start is where you are. Start with what you have. Opportunity is always where you are not where you were.

To get anywhere, you must come out of somewhere. Do what you can with what you have where you are. Do not spoil what you have, doing the best at the moment puts you in the best place for the next moment. I bet you, you will have a breakthrough!!!
