I remember at one point I came to terms with the fact that I had to work my ass off to do well and that's exactly what I did. I drew and drew and drew, and it worked - I ended up getting the award for best artist and went on to apply to design school because I loved it so much.

When you get the right attitude, the outer world of results and personalities must conform to it. That is the law of mind-action.
