“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him”. David Brinkley

The diversity of mankind in our thoughts, attitude and way of life is what define us as unique individuals. However, no matter how distant our ideas and mindset about life seem to be from each other, there is always that common target point of “achieving success” in whatever direction we tread on in life.
We may seem to be walking in different paths of ambition and putting up unequal structures aimed at guiding us on these paths, yet, we are all heading towards a common goal of attaining “Success”.
The very fact that everyone one of us is working so hard towards a common focal point in life depicts the important and highly combustible nature of the point we are gravitating towards. Yes, the closer you get to success, the more difficult, stormy and fiery the path becomes.
The ability of a person to keep motivated, focus and hold up his path towards success is enshrined in his attitude, structures and the foundations laid to combat the turbulent path of success.
The foundation on which your success path rest therefore becomes the most crucial ingredient of fetching success, in fact, a determinant of whether you can resist the chaotic trail of attaining success or not.
Everyone would fairly expect that the important nature of the foundation we lay on our success path means we should have control and be presented with the opportunity to pick up the bricks we use for this very foundation so we can grab the strongest bricks and build up a sturdy foundation against “on-way” obstacles.
