It takes just one idea or act to connect the dots between hard work and success... Don’t relent until you find it

About This Quote

In 2005, former US President Bill Clinton wrote a bestselling book called “My Life.� In the book, he shared an anecdote about an encounter he had with a young man named Jay. During the conversation, Clinton asked Jay what his goal was for the future. After laughs and some playful banter, Clinton asked him to share his goal with him. Jay responded that he wanted to be a big artist and that he would work hard and then one day, he would become a famous person.

Then he paused and said, "Oh yeah... but I want to be a famous person... like you." The question is: How do you make your dreams come true?
