Actually, to achieve success, we must do the job.
Some people find lifting heavy weights and whatnot helps them do that. I certainly have. Others find it's quiet contemplation under a tree. I've done that too, in another place, not here.
Time and chance happen to us all, and having a deep toolkit of techniques for dealing with the truly astonishing variety of slings and arrows the world can huck in our direction is at least as important as our dedication to any one of them. Because when we fail--and we will fail, if we truly strive to achieve anything interesting or important--having a different set of techniques to catch ourselves can come in handly.
For myself, the secrect of my success is being able to go on in the certainty of failure, because taking one more step forward is worthwhile, even when I know the destination is unreachable. And sometimes I'm wrong, and reach it anyway.
