"my short time on earth, that things are not usually as much about talent as they are determination and hard work. Very few things in life come without a commitment and without dedication to the cause. Hone your craft. Practice. Work on your dreams and carry your dreams until the day your dreams carry you. Sure, you may have some mistakes. You may have some failures along the way, but don't let those be discouraging. Use those failures as stepping stones to do better the next time. Always remember friends, never give up on your dreams."
