And things have not changed much since Franklin's day. If you want success, you need to focus on it, and not spend your time getting sidetracked, and getting yourself into debt. I have observed many successful people. Yes, they all work hard, and it is amazing how many of them at the office party, will only drink soft drinks, or will make a single glass of wine last the whole evening.
