Dear Jack, we’ve spoken about this before. It takes a certain level of discipline and focus to succeed. Success requires self-discipline. You get out of that bed in the morning, even if your eyes are bleary, your head muffled with the substance of sleeplessness… You’ve got to have unfaltering hope, refuse to give in to despair. You need stubborn hope to succeed. When that hope is shaken and you feel like crying and giving up, you readjust yourself and determine to face life. Everyone goes through that patch.
