About This Quote

The popular saying, "because memory is time folding back on itself" is very true. Many times, people are able to get everything they want because they are able to relax and forget about it. When people do not put any effort into their lives, they are never able to reach the next level of success. However, people who are able to work hard for things do get what they want because they have no choice but to work for it.
