Hard Work
In life nothing is just handed to you, if you want to be successful you need to put the work in. If you work hard and put enough hours in the sky is your limit. Every successful person that you can think of did not get there by waiting for opportunities to come to them. For example American businessman Marc Leder is the epitome of hard work. Leder successfully achieved a Bachelor degree in Economics at the University of Pennsylvania and then became an analyst at Lehman Brothers before working his way up to Senior Vice President. Leder did not stop there and left in 1995 to co-found Sun Capital Partners and has overseen business operations for over 25 years. A true inspiration to what hard work can get you.
