"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."

I would like to think that most people out there are honest, when the clerk gives you a dollar to much in change, most of us would give it back, but honesty is a very slippery word, we can be honest in all our endeavors and yet fail to be honest with the most important person in your life, you.

Have you ever started a project, only to find yourself never finishing it. It all boils down to being honest, with oneself. We all have grandiose thoughts, if we didn’t there would be no lottery, we buy tickets, because we see ourselves getting gobs and gobs of cash, we spend it in our heads.

Having good visualization skills is the most important thing an inventor can have, but if you lack the honesty with yourself then it is just an flight of imagination, if you fail to look at the reality of a thing, then you fall short of your imagined outcome. So be honest with yourself, look at all the work that you will have to put into something, to make it real.

It is just to easy to see the outcome without seeing the work, and the work is the journey not the results.
