The Robert Ballard Story
Just as there are people around us who are achievers, there are also those who are not.
You probably know people who once thought they would be doctors or lawyers or pilots or own their own businesses. But they never turned their dreams of such things into reality. Most people in that situation want to be productive—they want to be successful, but they still work long hours at unsatisfying jobs when they’re thirty or forty years of age, trying to keep up with the bills and raise a family as best they can.
You can do like so many others do and settle for mediocrity – in school or on the job—the same routine day in and day out. Or you can determine yourself to a higher plain and begin reaping the benefits of becoming an achiever! It’s worth thinking about.
