How can I make it better?

Many months without a blog entry. Maybe because my familiar stuff and maybe I buried myself at work and forgot like this one, many aspects in my life, I stop here to think & write.
There have been a lot of learning during this time (Management, software measurement,Solaris, software metrics, Citrix XenApp, testing, Citrix XenDesktop, software quality metrics, Sun hardware, Oracle database, speech, coaching & Lexmark printers), a lot of partnership and also many things that I would like to tell you (Mom is OK, I broke up with my girlfriend, I have invest all the money I've earned, my thesis is just in my head) that a post would not enough. (Maybe three)
Today I read a book that AGua shared to me and other colleagues and simply, with the things that I've caught from it, and the time I got now, & the situation I get now, I decided to share them on my blog:
"It's not how good you are, It's how good you want to be"
Paul Arden
I felt identified with many phrases and mostly situations showed on this book.
It's hard to disregard this book & the message you might catch from it.
There are many words & phrases that pushed me to think the way I'm making my thesis, well at least the way I'm taking the situation.
To succeed is never easy, cuz if it were, anyone could do it.
"failures and false starts are a precondition of success"
"being right may be like walking backwards proving where you've been" I laughed too much because I visualized myself, too funny!
I don't know why but many times in the book's examples, I felt identified, for instance at the lectures with partners, teachers & clients. Try to sell what you want to sell but first listening what the client might want. The scribbles works fine, almost better than the .odp believe me!. In the business field they called it "Whiteboard"

Work with the best people. Believe me I had to devise the way to call their attention, to show me like a good element that can bring them more than a image or good looking, the way I sell my self to others and the way they remember me.
At the social aspect I think I'm failing.
I consider is time to change the way I make the things if I expect to change the results not only in this field but at every ones.
There are many other things that I liked about this book, almost every. It goes too aligned with the book I'm reading, I almost finish it,
"El alma está en el cerebro."
Eduardo Punset
I feel everything is going uncontrolled, maybe it's a sign of insanity(too much speed) or a sign that I'm hoarding too much.

I know we had talked about it before but, How do you think can I make it better? Time is running.
Wit & guts to strive

Greetings

A honest and humble opinion.

Find something you can do for hours, even without sleeping or eating or having sex (well, maybe not the last one) and do it. Find everything about it and become the best at it and be recognised for what you have done with it and contributed to it.

If you go for everything you will be like a duck. And you will fly, walk and swim but you will not do any of those fine.
