Kimberly Oliver said she wanted people to understand that the first several years of a childs life were the most important for learning. She said investing in children at a very young age would result in great gains later in school and in life.

Washington B Most people want to be successful, but never stop to think what it will really take to get there in their chosen field. If it means going back to college for 2 years of night school, could you do it ? If it means reading a book a week for about 6 months in order to really master a new skill ? If you arent prepared to do any of those things because they are outside of your comfort zone, then you can forget being succesful. I guarantee you will never reach your goals in life, unless your goals are to be ordinary.The biggest killer by far is the dreaded “ comfort zone ” where most people live in their entire life. And the funny thing is that people just cant wrap their heads around the fact that people who have reached some success get tons of time to just relax, but only because theyve earned it ! If you havent built a successful business, or in some way built a career that allow you so much freee time, then you are stuck in the grinding world of nine-to-five jobs everyone else. So how comfortable is that ?So what can you do about it ? Well, find a way to make something happen in your life- build a business around your favourite hobby, write a book and publish it, or take a course in stock trading and become an expert at that, working on making enough money to retire. If you dont take massive action that puts your way of your comfort zone, you will never be successful at much of anything. I promise- and I dont make many promises !Finding real happiness in life can be a mystery for many. Thats why I wrote The Road to Happiness for those who want real success and happiness in life, including spirituality and all the gifts life has to offer.Dont wander aimlessly through life. Get focused on your goals, start helping others in need, and live life to the fullest ! Life is too short to be anything but happy. Visit my website and find what youve been missing.
