Let's look at the workplace. If you don't like your job, a trusted colleague may suggest you continue working there, or quit.
But, you know you can't quit right now, so you fool yourself into thinking the only option is to continue working in a thankless job.

Take the short cut to success in everything that you do. The short cut requires your complete focus! The short cut to success must be about serving others with humility. Everything must be about your family, your profession and your community. Then and only then will it be about you.
