“So is work ethic. You do things over and over again, and when you get in a situation you like to think it comes natural. I think there has to be a mind-set that you’re not afraid to fail.

Unfailingly, human beings pity their ancestors for being so ignorant and forget that their descendants will pity them for the same reason.”
