It's important to be successful, and not just because there is competition, but also because it leads to better work for you.

If you're going to succeed, then you just have to be thick-skinned. It's something I developed early in my career, and it just goes with the territory.

You have to compete with others in the field. Sometimes the competition gets pretty fierce because you're competing for funds or grants to do your work, the financial work.

Well, you've got certain obstacles that get in your way throughout your career, but you have to be a strong individual.

Sometimes, success almost haunts you. You want to be the best at everything you do and know you have to work hard.

I know competition is there, and it can come my way by new, fresh faces that are around or are coming up. It pushes me to work hard. I know if I don't work hard, I will be left behind. So, I continue to work hard.

The best way to advance in a career is to get great results while working with people.

You really have to work hard and apply yourself and by applying yourself and working hard and being diligent, you can achieve success.

I have had lots of luck in my career but there has also been a lot of hard work.

It's good to test yourself and develop your talents and ambitions as fully as you can and achieve greater success; but I think success is the feeling you get from a job well done, and the key thing is to do the work.
