I think that there are people who have been told their whole life that they can be anything they want to be if they put their mind to it .....only to have life smack them in the chops again and again untill they finally give up...and on the other hand I'm sure there are plenty of people who were told by everyone that they could be anything they wanted to be if they put their mind to it and had no problem attaining that dream. It's my opinon that there have been more failures than sucess's in regards to attaining one's dreams..........I think there is more involved than just desire.
