Scratch Beginnings

Adam is a young kid right out of college and he dares to see if the American Dream is still attainable. He sets out for a city in which he knows no one with only $25 to his name. He finds a shelter and it is just as awful as he has anticipated. His goal is to acquire a car, a furnished apartment, savings, and a fulltime job before the end of a year. He easily attains his goal.

Why was Adam successful when so many others are not? Drive. Optimism. Persistence. And he undoubted obtained knowledge during his college years that helped him in this goal.
