I’ve always thought that consistency is the most difficult thing to attain in life. Anyone can be good for a day, or a year. But can you consistently be great? That is so much more difficult. It requires a person to continue to work hard even after they have achieved success. It requires sacrifice, even after sacrifice is no longer required. It requires hunger in a person that is about more than just making it. It is about staying there. Whether it is an athlete, or an actor or a musician, or a business-man, I think people will tell you that staying on top of your profession for a long period is the most difficult thing. A lot of actors have won 1 Academy Award, but how many have won a number of them, consistently throughout their career? You can start one successful business, but how about being successful in a number of ventures?
