17. How much one actually achieves depends largely on: (1) desire, (2) faith, (3) persistent effort and (4) ability. But if you are lacking in the first three factors, your ability will not balance out the lack. So concentrate on the first three and the results will amaze you. Norman Vincent Peale 17
