- AndrewKemendo 10y agoNo doubt about that. You'll find a way if you have the motivation. Even if you have to do other stuff until it gets going.

I agree that motivated people find a way, but my experience is that passion is a luxury, and people who indulge in luxuries, almost by definition, aren't willing to do "whatever it takes"(tm).
