Doug B eventually hard work pays off. Never think like that. Your goal is to get in the draft if Isaiah Thomas could blossom as a 60th draft pick in his Boston days so could you. You attract what you bring. Law of attraction if you believe you’re one in a million then you will be but if you do not then you will be like the majority who do not. Make your own opportunities. They’ve worked hard for it very hard extremely hard.
