About This Quote
The biological equipment of a man rigidly restricts the field in which he can serve. When we look at the average person and think about who they are or what they do, we don’t give it much thought. We think that if they were to be any different than that, then things would be different. That’s not true.
The equipment you have is what you were given by nature. The only thing that you truly control is your attitude. If you’re positive, energetic, and enthusiastic about what you do, then you will become successful.
