"We are what we repeatedly do."
-- Aristotle
If you find yourself unable to get ahead, stop and take a look at what you are doing. If you are doing the same things over and over and not achieving any results, it may be time for a change. Your current situation is a direct culmination of all of your decisions and actions up to this point in time. Change your decisions and actions and you will change your results.
"The definition of insanity is to repeatedly perform the same action in the hopes of achieving a different result."
-- Albert Einstein
