Taking full responsibility for one's own circumstances, rather than playing the victim, is essential for progress.

“they don't take responsibility for their situation they kind of see themselves as a a victim of the situation they're in whereas when i was in that situation not only did i not view it as my destination i was literally taking photos of the the nothingness in my fridge”

Talent alone is insufficient for success without the willingness to practice and invest in oneself.

“the people who make it are the ones who um will get up on a rainy friday morning and rainy saturday morning to go and practice whilst their mates are in bed the ones who will practice on a friday night when their mates are out drinking and so talent is not enough you need talent plus teachability”
