More Than Hope



"The person who lives by hope will die by despair."

Italian proverb



Maybe too extreme, better to add "mostly" before "lives", but either way the message is still clear.

Simply wanting something will not get the job done; you must do everything necessary to achieve your goals.

Take time to think about what that means.

  2. True, but what I was going for was in between. Very little gets done when only doing one thing needed to complete a task.

    Enthusiasm, requisite skills, time, money, support from others, etc., whatever it is, you need it all and this quote is only saying if all you do is hope you won't achieve your goals.
