D Imagination and fantasy can play animportant role in achieving the things we fear.So, let yourimagination run wild, and dare todreamBSome people think that success is only forthose with talent or those who grow up in the right family, andothers believe that success mostly comes down to luck. Imnot going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come intoplay because they do. Some people are born into the right familywhile others are born with great intelligence, and thats just thereality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needsto set a goal and then gradually make it morepractical. And, in addition to that, in order to getreally good at something, oneneeds to spend at least 10,000 hours studyingand practicing. To become great at certain things,itll require even more time, time that mostpeople wont put in.This is a big reason why many successfulpeople advise you to do something you love. If you dontenjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain andwill likely make you quit well before you ever become good atit.When yousee people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved greatsuccess, you know that they have put in ahuge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. Itssometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with somerare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres ahuge chance that youre wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become greatat it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point ofaddiction, and over a long period of time.
