Doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have… All you need to have is faith in God, and undying passion for what you do, what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be a successful at whatever it takes to be successful at whatever you put your mind to.  --- Stephen Curry
