Motivation

All successful people are forever attempting to expand their horizons; to stretch their minds. Thomas Carlyle put it beautifully when he said, "Once the mind has been expanded by a big idea, it will never go back to its original state." Carlyle was right, when you have expanded your mind you have developed a greater awareness, and awareness is not something you can lose."
