“My mother taught me the principles of hard work, setting my own goals and visualizing my future. From my early days with Destiny's Child, I understood I had to be focused and dedicated if I wanted true success. We were taught we needed a plan and the discipline to execute that plan to the fullest. I strongly believe if you work hard, whatever you want, it will come to you. I know that's easier said than done but keep trying.” IfsKnowsWantTryingBelieveChildrenSaidHardDoneWantedMotherGoalMy OwnPrinciplesDestinyPlansTaughtHard WorkNeededDisciplineEasierUnderstoodFocusedSettingSettingsDedicatedKeep TryingMy FutureTrue SuccessVisualizingEasier Said Than Done Author:Beyonce Knowles
