There is a line between those who live their dreams in the long term and those who do not.  It’s not always about who is smarter.  It is more about who is willing to stick with the process no matter what till they see results.

Resilience and perseverance is the thin line that separates those who really go far, and those who only scratch the surface in the quest for academic success and life in general. The big question is : DO YOU HAVE GRIT? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/igowithigho/support
