INSIGHTS for SUCCESS

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.” (Maya Angelou)

For example, what happens if you have a talent, but you are afraid you may fail or cannot deal with the hard work of training and practice? You will need to have the courage to develop yourself, to make an effort, and to expose yourself to risks.
