We don't have the work ethics that most professionals have. Religion is meant to keep us on the right track;however, it is our mentality that decides. The culture that is adhered to our common habit to tackle what's easy first then tackle what's difficult next time around. But the problem is that we forget to go back for what's difficult. We do what most people do. We don't do what few people do. Quote: (The Great Debater-Denzel Whashington, Forest Whitaker) "We do what we have to do so that we can do what we want to do."
