Yeah, I love the saying. It is definitely the way people think these days. I was asked to put a career development presentation together for work and I put that quote on there. I was asked to remove it. I guess those that wait on success to come to them may have been offended. Furthermore, people have quit believing ole Vince Lombardi “The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary” I think I may add that to my signature to.
It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.
