End Result vs. Process

“An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as is it possible to be in modern British, without being homeless. I was the biggest failure I knew.”

-J.K. Rowling

“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot, and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

-Michael Jordan

what they do which compels them to continue practicing their craft/skill • Connections- they have a broad set of

life experiences through the interactions they have with others
