For all sad words of tongue and pen,
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
- John Greenleaf Whittier

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work.”
- Thomas Alva Edison

These quotes remind me that without hard work, individuals may fail to develop their giftedness into achievements, accomplishments, high performance, and success. Undeveloped potential may be lost.
