I believe there is no evidence of successful high-level performance without hard work, experience and practice. Gen Colin Powell says, "An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people." I aim for excellence in everything I do. I actively seek out potentially better futures and simultaneously motivate everyone around me to believe and desire the goal ahead. By motivating myself, being extremely positive and proactive, I can empower others and help them visualize achieving a goal that is simply sitting in front of them just waiting to be conquered and dominated. My favorite quote, again by Gen Powell, says it all: "Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier."
