Those folks, John, who meet with life success and then tell the world it was due to their hard work, really make my job challenging. They almost NEVER work harder than others. They don't even work smarter than others.

But, oh, no, they have to go out and tell impressionable minds that it was their hard work, and so, for all who listen and nod, it becomes hard work. 

Leverage the magic, John -
