What are the key ingredients to achieve success?

Resilience, passion, and the ability to swim against the tide.

How do you handle failures?

I accept it. Learn from it and move on. I believe failure is a stepping stone to success. Don't let your failures define you, you have to let your failures teach you. Sometimes losing everything that feels safe and familiar can be one of life's greatest gifts. It shows you everything you didn't know about yourself.

What's the one word or phrase that defines your identity?

"You don't win the silver — you lose the gold" and "the distance between dream and reality is discipline."

Is the search for excellence utopian or is it for real?

It's real. One should strive for sunshine moments. Thrive in those moments and just enjoy the journey. The destination will take care of itself. Your expectancy determines your outcome, as long as you are not attached to the outcome.

What's the one quote that defines your approach to life?

"Love, life, luck, and laughter. Hope walks through fire, faith leaps over it."
