The idea of success is nebulous for some people. Perhaps this is because of lack of foresight, but I believe it is because we see fate in success. We see a loaded determinism that robs us of agency. Those who achieve success have developed a long‐term plan paired with impressive work habits that push them toward success. They do not trip into it, nor do they come upon it by happenstance.

Taking care in your preparation for success, the roadmap on which you depend to reach your goals, is important because attention to detail is the difference between success and failure. Holding yourself to a level of excellence that befits your goals ensures that success will not merely happen upon your path; you will have driven yourself toward it.
