I don’t think you should spend much time being unhappy about the bad breaks. You get a lot of them, but you also get a lot of good ones. The thing to do is just to maximize your odds of using the good ones and minimizing the effects of the bad ones.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with – a man is what he makes of himself.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
