Success
Success often hinges on the ability to quickly adjust to change. The top 1% follow a model:
Being open to change; when plans or situations change, step back and look at ways to adapt and adjust.

Persistence

The next year in tech is going to be exciting. Those who don’t like change will dislike irrelevance even more. Seat belts on, tray tables up.

Inspiration drives us, whereas motivation is a pulling force.
