They say if you can dream it you can achieve it. Each and every one of us has the chance to be brilliant we just have to be willing to take the risks. There will be times where we think we can not make it but, we just have to stay the course and believe in ourselves. In the book the pact by Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and Rameck Hunt they reveal how we can all make it through our ups and downs and achieve our seemingly impossible goal.
