<p>“I am exactly where I want to be because I realized that I have to commit my very being to this thing. I have to breathe it, eat it, and sleep it. Until you get there you will never be successful in life, but once you get there I guarantee you the world is yours, so work hard and you can have whatever it is you want.” –Eric Thomas</p>
