I can’t recollect when these words were etched in my brain:
The best place to succeed is where you are with what you’ve got. – Charles Schwab
I’ve often wondered whether he was commenting on life in general or if that was advertising copy from his investment business marketing department. I’ve learned it was part of a longer passage, which makes those words even more relevant, a reminder that we ARE good enough and there is no better time than right here, right now:
The best place to succeed is where you are with what you've got. We are all salesmen every day of our lives. We are selling our ideas, our plans, and our enthusiasms to those with whom we come in contact. One can succeed at almost anything for which he has enthusiasm. – Charles Schwab
