“I want to be chosen, not wish I was part of something. I didn’t pine over the fact that I didn’t get [Superman Returns]. It was ‘move on, carry on,’ whatever! […] I think my parents brought me up that way—very much, ‘Okay, well, there’s no point in worrying about that now because that’s gone. Take every learning experience you can and apply it to yourself and grow from it. You didn’t get it. Tough. Now move on. Get the next one.’”
- Henry Cavill, Men’s Health

“It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.”

They who lack talent expect things to happen without effort. They ascribe failure to a lack of inspiration or ability, or to misfortune, rather than to insufficient application. At the core of every true talent there is an awareness of the difficulties inherent in any achievement, and the confidence that by persistence and patience something worthwhile will be realized. Thus talent is a species of vigor.
Ps. Determination is Key
