Attitude is a determinant of fate. I was in a sour mood today after getting lost on my way back from tennis. Then I watched an interview with a Chinese female entrepreneur who is known as the “Queen of Furniture”, for having started the hugely successful brand “Illinois”.

She started out life as an athlete, then married, had three kids, and became a housewife. That left her depressed and with low self-esteem. So finally in her thirties, she went abroad to study interior design, to pursue her dream. She had clearly articulated goals and established a plan for achieving them.
