Practice Your Skills

The key to being successful is practice your skills. It doesn't matter whether your a doctor or a fisherman. To be a successful fisherman, you have to go fishing every day. In medicine it's the same. I still see patients and read four medical journals a week-otherwise I would lose my skill and relevance. You have to put in hours and hours, or you get nowhere in life. People have this vision that they will work hard and then get to lie on the beach. That's not how success happens. You work, and you keep working. The trick is to make work creative so it becomes like play.
