I HOPE YOU DO MORE THAN HOPE


"Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope."

Epictetus 
1st century Greek philosopher

You will more often not get what you want/need if your only effort to get it is hope.

Here's what you do:
  1. Identify your goal. Be certain you set the right goal.
  2. Carefully plan what you need to do to achieve it.
  3. Work really hard to execute the plan correctly.
  4. Hope it all works out as you wish.
Do that and there's a good chance you will succeed.

Only do number 4 and your chance of success is greatly diminished.
