It's like saying, "Hey, if you can do this stuff, anyone can do it."

Truth of the matter is, if they can do it, you can also do it.

It kinda goes like this:
Coach: "Do you want me to teach you how to succeed?"
Wishfull Person: "YES, please, I NEED answers."
Coach: "Ok then you have to work for 10 years taking only 2 weeks vacation a year with no weekends. And work 60+ hours a week. You have to plan, commit and give it your all."
Wishfull Person "C'mon, even God rested one day and I love to play videogames, sure I can take some breaks and take weekends off. And 60 hours a week, are you crazy??? 45 hours tops for me. I wanna live the high life not be working like crazy."

The answer is within you, always within you. The magic formula for success is Hard Work. Simple as that.
