Being a developer, I just realized why people struggle to find a job or freelance projects: they don't want to give their best but want the best price.
On the deathbed, no one says:
“I wish I was luckier.”
They say:
“I wish I tried harder.”
“I wish I didn’t give up so early.”
“I wish I trusted myself more.”
Effort gives peace even when success delays.
Excuses never do.
