The amount of work and the amount of both physical and emotional investment it takes to get to the top.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Motivation, passion, and focus have to come from the top.
Most of us who aspire to be tops in our fields don't really consider the amount of work required to stay tops.
I think hard work is what gets most people to the top.
You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.
I know what it takes to get to the top.
I started my career at the top and have been working my way downwards ever since.
There are obviously peaks and valleys in everyone's career. This business can be a roller-coaster ride, and it's really hard to stay on top all the time. Very few people do.
For most people, attaining the intellectual clarity and emotional detachment that investing requires is tough.
Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.
You can muscle your way to the top as long as you're part of the production, which I am. I'm knitted into the money, so it's very hard to extricate me from the decision-making dynamic.
