- #1. Define what the mountaintop looks like. I suggest you articulate, in writing, what success looks like to you. Record your goals for all the key areas on your life. Write out what you want your reality to appear as 5 years from now. List the values you want to stand for. Clarity precedes success.

- #3. Take small steps. You can’t get to the top of Everest by jumping up the mountain. You get to the mountaintop by taking incremental steps. Step by step you get to the goal. Every step gets you closer to the dream. Life’s like that too. Small steps each day get you to greatness over time. Why? Because days become weeks and weeks become months and months become years. You’ll get to the end of your life anyway-why not reach that place as an extraordinary human being?

I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...
