Many people wonder around for years and years trying to find the quickest ways to be successful not knowing that ultimately, you can't cheat life. There is no substitute for hard work when it comes to arriving at the destination of real success.

So many people waste their time looking for shortcuts through life that they miss out on the dreams they could have accomplished by now had they been willing to put in the work when they started looking for shortcuts.

Don't let the hunt for fools gold stop you from gaining the substantive wealth and wisdom that you can get by truly applying yourself in the hopes of achieving your real dreams.

Hitting the lotto is cool and all, but don't ever put all of your eggs into that basket. Diversify your ways of thinking and work hard at becoming the success you truly desire to become.
