Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: "It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back," but each straw helps. Your success may seem a long way off, but each step forward (and none backward) will help to bring you nearer. Your goal, whatever your ambition, may seem as a giant mountain, to the top of which seems as an endless climb; but when it is reached how sweet is the rest, and what a pleasure it is to look back over the long, winding road up the steep incline!
