But that doesn’t mean that we cannot but have a undergo a rather vigorous journey to get there. Your starting point can be absolutely anything say a person who could not complete their studies, someone who took into the wrong choice for their career, one who is stuck in a dormant job, or even a person who doesn’t have the situation to work their way out.
