About This Quote

Sometimes the gap between what you are and what you want to be is a little piece of paper called your college degree. So jump. This quote, said by Greg McKeown in his book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less , is all about the importance of ambition and purpose in your life. You may think that you aren’t smart enough or good enough to get into a particular school, but if you believe that and then work hard, it can be possible. It’s all about believing in yourself and taking the risks when it comes to setting goals for yourself.
