I think anyone’s success depends on working hard, Industriousness and Enthusiasm, enjoying what you are doing. You can’t work your best if you’re not enjoying what you are doing. No way you can force yourself to.

John Wooden

I think you have to be what you are. Don’t try to be somebody else. You have to be yourself at all times.
