Don’t get complacent once you see a little success and people start rewarding you with praise.
No matter how good they say you are...remember most of those same people thought you were stupid when you started.
Stay focused.
Stay hungry.
Never look back.
Don’t celebrate progress that other people are beating you at.
Are you the best in the world? No?
Then keep working.
Keep that chip on your shoulder long after you're winning.
And always remember:
You're never as bad as people think you are when you're just getting going...
and...
You're never as good as people think you are when you're winning.
