“Success doesn’t make the person, the person makes the success. Whatever you get in life, be proud of it.”
I was reading an interview featuring Bernard Hopkins, who is gearing up to fight Roy Jones Jr this Saturday April 3rd, and towards the end of the interview he said the above quote. I’m not sure if he’s the orignator of the quote but his words definitely struck a chord with me. Too often people look for success and/or material things to define them. Instead of focusing on the end result of success, focus on what’s important to you. Success is a byproduct or your hard work and dedication. When you strive for your goals and put in the necessary work success is the end result. There are different levels of success but, at the end of the day who you are should not be affected by the level you reach.

President Obama signed a new bill yesterday that will overhaul the educational loan system. Even though the affects will not be seen immediately, this will benefit students for years to come. The bill will cut out the middle men, companies like Sallie Mae, who make up their own interest rates which are usually very high. Instead, students will be borrowing directly from the government, who will have a fixed interest rate, and will only ask for 10% of total income monthly. This will be a sigh of a relief for individuals who owe a lot of money on loans. All in all, I believe this bill is beneficial in the long run because student loans are getting out of hand, especially the interest rates on independent student lenders.
