RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE

Wow! I think you should pat yourself on the back right now if you are reading this. Trust me having to lay your hands on this article is without doubt one of the best thing that has happened to you this year. And the best way to make the most of it is to be consistent and follow this blog with every article it rolls out. As you know, your ultimate success in life can never be isolated from the books you read and the company you keep.
