A river cuts through a rock not because of its power but its persistence
With persistence and time anything can be achieved. Especially in a time where “This can’t be done” usually gets interrupted pretty fast by a guy doing that exact thing.
Do not give up, hang in there and keep working towards your goals. You will achieve them sooner or later, always believe in that.

All great achievements have one thing in common – people with a passion to succeed.
Pat Cash
Achievement does not happen by chance. It happens because someone sometimes had passion and pushed through.
You can be that someone. Are you passionate about something? Good, do it!

Your toughness is made up of equal parts
persistence and experience. You don’t so much outrun your
opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest
opponent of all is the one inside your head.Joe Henderson

No such thing as spare time,
no such thing as free time,
no such thing as down time.
All you got is life time. Go!
Henry Rollins.
There is this concept of work and spare time that I really oppose: Work time is not supposed to be fun, it is not supposed to brighten your day, it is work. You do it in order to gain money wich will increase the quality of your highly-valued spare time.
This concept of time is extremely strange because it gives you the illusion that suffering at certain points in life will make other parts inevitably better. I ask: Why not have fun all the time? We have 24 hours a day, why don’t we just enjoy our waking hours no matter what we are doing?
To me the term work merely means I get paid to do it, no matter what it is. Therefore work is not something negative, but something awesome. See: Normally I do what I like. At work I do what I like and on top of having fun in the moment I get paid for it. Isn’t that nice? Why yes, of course it is!
You have 24 hours a day, enjoy them! Do not waste your time doing stuff you don’t like, dreaming about better times.

What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

Well not only for teenagers I guess:
Northland College principal John Tapene has offered the following words from a judge who regularly deals with youth.
Always we hear the cry from teenagers, ‘what can we do, where can we go?’
My answer is this: Go home, mow the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons and after you’ve finished, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreational facitlities and your parents do not owe you fun.
The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent so that no one will be at war in sickness and lonely again. In other words grow up, stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone not a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person. You are important and you are needed. It’s too late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now and that somebody is you!
