About This Quote

I never ask a man what his business is, for it never interests me. What I ask him about are his thoughts and dreams. It is said that the only thing that you need to be successful is a dream and if you do not have one, then why bother to try? When you start thinking about your goals, you will find that they are not as big as they once seemed. The more you think about it, the smaller it becomes.
