Earning success: nothing comes from nothing, with Dennis Siver

“There is no magic pill.” That came to mind when I asked Dennis Siver how someone competes for years in the UFC, the leading mixed martial arts organisation.
His answer was simple: nothing comes from nothing. Hard work is part of pursuing a major goal.
The full interview is linked below. Here is an excerpt:
Reza: Which mindset has had the greatest positive influence on your life?
Dennis: My motto would be: nothing comes from nothing. You need to earn things in life. Very few things are simply given to you, and the best things must be earned, whether in sport, life or work. If you do nothing, you harvest nothing.
