"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."

If you want to progress than you have to do something. There's another quote that I like, it goes like; "If you want something to change, something has to change." Sounds obvious but it's 100% true.

If you want good to happen to you, you have to do good things in order to create the opportunity for that to happen.
