People often ask me how I built a successful career. I tell them long hours, imagination, and the willingness to take a chance rather than just accept what is currently working—the interest to go out and try something new. A career is built on daily work, the monotony of little sessions we take with humility and strength. Those efforts make the dream worthwhile, fulfilling, and your own.
