Animal Spirit, Ambition, Drive, Chutzpah, Passion, Persistence, Smart Thinking and Good Timing and Good Luck – by Gary Smolker
Success
Fundamental success, unless your are born rich and/or are connected, comes from pursuing high ambitions, having hustle, being creative, having chutzpah, persistence, drive, stamina, passion, practicing smart thinking, having good luck, being patient, and good timing.
Animal Spirit
Everyone has Animal Spirit.
Whether people acknowledge their Animal Spirit, let it free, or suppress it will make a difference in the life they lead, the adventures they have, how they face the unknown, and will determine how they treat opportunities.
Whether an opportunity will be passionately seized and turned into a success or be put on the back burner and turn into a failure or will not become part of your life depends on whether you throttle your animal spirit.
