- Notes:
  > The Essence of Success offers a valuable perspective on this matter. The book introduces the idea that all the water constituting a fog, spanning a depth of 100 feet and a width of seven city blocks, can be contained within a small glass.
  > 
  > In moments of stress, I find comfort in imagining consuming this symbolic water as a form of inner strength. This visualization serves as a motivating factor, aiding in the development of positive habits.
  > 
  > Yet, stress can also arise from external factors beyond our control. To address this, I've consistently strived to focus only on aspects of life that are within my direct sphere of influence.
