“Successful people understand that you have to sacrifice to succeed. Hard work is not enough; everyone works hard. Intelligence is not enough; the world is full of smart people who never did anything. Success requires an unrelenting will to prevail at all costs, a refusal to quit. As Churchill said: ‘Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.’ You may not win every battle, but surrender is not an option.”
