Life is about hard work and persistence, in equal measures to good luck and perfect timing. Being at the top of your field is not solely about talent. I do work extremely hard, however I have found that all good things that happen are sprinkled with a pinch of luck.A person with a well programmed mind-set can achieve anything. Nothing is too difficult, or beyond reach from a motivated individual. Those who say otherwise do not harbour a clear indication of where they are headed or do not believe in themselves enough to get there.I find that obstacles are inevitably planted in one's path, it is finding a way around them that fosters belief. It's easy to fail at something you don't really want, so why not take a chance at doing something that you love.
