You don’t set out to build a wall. You don’t say, “I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.” You don’t start there. You say, “I’m going to lay this stone as perfectly as a stone can be laid.” You do that every single day. And soon you will have a wall.

NOPE
I will not be lazy.
I will not accept what I have now if I know I can do better.
I will not sleep until I finish.
I will not leave until I’m done.
I will not tremble in front of new challenges.
I will not stop until I stop breathing.
I will be whatever I want to be even if it takes sacrifice.
Even if I have little to give.
Even if it takes time.
Even if I have no time at all.
I will succeed.

Either he will follow it, or he will not.
