“Our days are like identical suitcases; all the same size but some people can pack more into them than others.” (P.L. Andarr)
Why do some people do better at not wasting their time; at making greater use of their natural talents; and at doing a better job of recognizing and taking advantage of opportunities than others?
Consider the following factors:

- Being ambitious and motivated
- Having a positive attitude
- Being resilient
- Being willing to take risks
- Being willing to work hard and try your best
