What do you attribute your success to?

  • His parents were both, very intelligent and fortunate, he received some of that from them. His success is mainly through drive and determination--some would call that stubbornness. Once told that he will not be able to accomplish something, that makes him more determined to dig deeper to prove the naysayers wrong. It is a combination of stubbornness and self-confidence--knowing that he is capable of accomplishing the task, and having the determination to do so. Admittedly, his is neither as intelligent nor as stubborn as his father, who gave him a portion of those traits. He says he has been richly blessed.
