People don't want to? They never were given a proper chance to!

Find a new hobby. Something simple, portable, and handy might be nice.

"To succeed, you need to have confidence, but to have confidence you need to succeed."

Yup. That makes sense right...?

The answers to prayers are usually found in those who pray.
