Achieve Your Goals
“The Achievement Habit” (Roth, Bernard) clearly spells out the true meaning of hard work, taking success to the very highest level, and finding the “Yellow Eyed Cats” (Roth) that can ruin a person’s perspective on the outside world for the rest of his life. “Who Am I? What do I Want? What is my purpose?” (Roth, 28). What is a “GOOOooood Reason” (Roth 34) for a poor excuse, and what really matters in your life? Ask yourself; “Who Am I? What do I want?

Maybe consider though, that failure was what brought them back up to the best, hardest working person that they could be and it did not take long for them to retrieve what they had lost and made it ten times better! Throughout the first few chapters of, “The Achievement Habit” (Roth, Bernard) it is very clear that his intensions are well, although you may take offence by some of the things he says, if you look at it in a different perspective as Paddy did with, “Yellow Eyed Cats” (Roth) if would be obvious that sometimes something new is not a bad thing, and that being honest with yourself cuts down on the poor excuses. If you set your mind strait and focus on the most important things in your life it will soon show how successful you can
