“A lot of success isn't necessarily that someone's more capable than you are, or any smarter. A lot of it is they know people you don't.”

“The more vividly you fantasize about success, the worse you perform.”

“Would I want to do this, whatever I just did again? If so, it's successful. And I think that that's enough of a definition for me. It's not about money. It's not about any of those things. It's like, would I want to do it again?”
