Summary
Listen to episode 795 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Make the Most of Life. Edited and adapted from Ready Money by George H. Knox.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: What is nerve? Nerve is that which enables a person to hang on and either lose everything or win out. It is undertaking more than ordinary things. It is taking big risks on one's own ability. It is holding the fort against all-comers. It is doing the thing which the ordinary person thinks is impossible. It is setting your standard twice as high as your colleagues would set it for you, and then reaching it. It is burning your bridges behind you and staking your all on your own endeavor.
