The secret of success lies in consistent effort, resilience in the face of failure, a clear vision of your goals, and the discipline to work toward them every day. Success rarely comes from talent alone—it’s more often the result of hard work, adaptability, learning from mistakes, and staying focused even when motivation fades. Surrounding yourself with positive influences, continuously improving your skills, and maintaining a strong mindset are also key ingredients.
Well stated mate :)

IMO, one critical component to success is the ability to accurately and honestly evaluate your current knowledge and skill levels. It's extremely common for poker players to overestimate their skills and this will really hinder your progression, especially if you resort to throwing accusations of rigged RNGs instead of taking responsibility for your mistakes.

I think most athletes are quite disciplined people and therefore it's easier for them to achieve a good result in poker than for other players, i.e. non-athletes.

Maybe chess players. They have a very complex discipline with well-developed technique and diligence.

I’m curious about that too.
I think in any field, if you find a good coach, there’s a much better chance you’ll become a strong player.
