Do not scatter your powers. Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until your experience shows that you should abandon it. A constant hammering on one nail will generally drive it home at last, so that it can be clinched. When a man’s undivided attention is centered on one object, his mind will constantly be suggesting improvements of value, which would escape him if his brain was occupied by a dozen different subjects at once.

RelayRides , a startup backed by Google Inc.’s venture arm and August Capital , is opening up shop in San Francisco today, letting the city’s residents make money from their cars by sharing them with strangers.

David Rosenberg today (http://tinyurl.com/2dfyl8y): "In the aggregate, household net worth is $12.2 trillion lower today than it was three years ago at the pre-recession peak (...). That is about $100,000 per household of lost net worth. Not even a flashy bear market rally in equities has come close to making up for the wealth destruction of the down-cycle.

True success can only be achieved by motivating oneself first - a true and tested concept all over again.
