It s doubtful you ll ever like it. But it s also certain that successful people have failures sometimes spectacularly embarrassing ones but they learn from it and move on to the next success. Don t let people minimize your goals learn instead from what they re saying. There may be a bit of truth in it that can help you. Don t get me wrong.
Hard work is important.
Luck is also important but a lot of luck can come from the hard work required to recognize opportunity when you see it. I ve also always liked this definition of insanity . Doing the same thing over and over again, always expecting a different result. If you re not getting the results you wanted or expected, you have to change something. Being smart is not enough to achieve results.
