THE AUTHOR BELIEVES: (IN HIS OWN WORDS) ¿ Diligence is the mother of achievement. ¿ No insurance company underwrites a policy for success. ¿ The Almighty acknowledges hardship and rewards accomplishment in His own way. ¿ When you fail, you gain experience. ¿ Advancement tastes sweeter with sweat. ¿ It is not HOW you start, it is WHAT you end up with. ¿ Walking the pathway of progress. living and learning must hold hands. ¿ Learning institutions do not hand out success on a silver platter at the commencement exercise.
