Decide what you want to be.... Pay the Price ...And be what you want to be.

About This Quote

If you want to be something, then it is your responsibility to make that happen. It’s the way it is in the real world. If you want to be rich, then you have to work hard and make money. If you want to be successful in life, then you have to work hard and take the right steps.

There are no short cuts in this world, there are no easy ways out. Pay the price and do what it takes. If you want to be a famous actor or singer or something else, you have to work at it, day in and day out, for years before it will start happening for you.
