Today’s wisdom is about the route to success, and comes from  well Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).  He was considered one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.  Picasso was best known as the co-founder of cubism – (a work of art is considered cubist when the artist opts to break up objects and re-assemble them in abstract and geometric form).  And, he was a co-inventor of collage.

A talented man, Picasso was also a sculptor, print-maker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France.

Here’s today’s quote on the route to success by Picasso ;

“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”
~ Pablo Picasso“
