The Secret to Success

J: And to make sure I didn’t miss anything, is there any other question I should have asked you?

R: Yes: “What advice do you have for people who want to get where you’re at?” And the answer is, from the outside everybody thinks that being good at something, or getting places, or being an independent contractor, or whatever your dream may be is really easy or that it’s just natural.

And I would say: hard work. I think that people have lost the art of super hard work, really focusing on something, working really hard and sacrificing while doing it. I think that’s probably my motto for success. Maybe I’m not as good a designer as others, which is pretty obvious. But what I lack in skill, I think I make up for in hard work and really trying to figure things out.
