Colin Powell’s words remind us that the true path to achieving our goals is paved with diligence and resilience. Think of success as a house you’re building brick by brick. Preparation lays the foundation, hard work stacks the walls, and learning from failure strengthens the structure. Each step, whether a plan laid out or a mistake learned from, contributes to a solid and enduring achievement. Today, focus on what you can prepare, work diligently on your tasks, and view any challenges as opportunities to grow stronger and wiser.
