Secret to success.

What is perfection? What makes someone consistently successful? Hard-work, the labour? Yes. But there's more. Our beautiful minds or rather brain is more than a complex organ situated at the apex position in our body to control the bodily functions involuntary to us and of course the voluntary functions too. No matter how much we might convince ourselves into thinking that we control our actions, there is a glitch. This is where the sub-conscious and unconscious which actually occupies most of our mind, has a major role to play in our success. It's not important to work hard and achieve once and then do nothing but rather once achieved, then pushing further to break more records and setting higher and higher benchmarks for yourself and someday even for others. But is the drive in this seemingly easy process?? For that one has to understand the art or imitation or acting. A good actor can convince people of his emotions using experience he gained in life and acting it out in similar situations in scenes. But what makes an actor great? Or rather someone like Daniel Day-Lewis? It's the magic or the unpredictability, he brings to the screen. Not only his acting is spot on but there is also some nuance in his performance, by which he deliberately or involuntarily establishes an insignia of his talent. Once, it becomes unique, it's for eternity.
So, what we understand from this example of one of the greatest actors of Hollywood or perhaps the world, is that you require basic skills in your choice of field and then you need a unique factor. This factor creates an illusion of unrepeatable magical performance, although it is just something you discovered within you which may or may not be unique. Now, the question boils down to- what is this unique factor within you? Well, that is really the secret to your success. The labour and sacrifice is not for success but rather for this "x-factor" as it is infamously known as. The secret is to work to achieve and paralleling be objective about the work you do, so that you constantly keep in touch with your work and it becomes less hard but rather a discovery or a journey to self-discovery. Once, this happens, no matter what the result is you'll be a winner eventually in life. Rote-learning, ok-acting, average are biggest criminals in life. Whatever you do, whether studying, acting or even lying, you have to be convinced yourself only then you can convince others of your brilliance. Basically, you need to be a magician. And that sums it all.
