Interpretation
Success encompasses both material wealth and intangible values.
This quote by Zig Ziglar emphasizes that true success is not solely measured by material possessions, but by a balanced life that includes qualities such as happiness, love, and fulfillment that cannot be purchased. It suggests that while financial achievements are important, they are incomplete without the emotional and social aspects of life that contribute to overall well-being.

If I go into years only thinking about medals I'm missing the whole meaning of what I've always been trying to do, which is trying to push myself and push the barriers of what is possible.
People talk about getting lucky breaks in their careers. I’m living proof that the “lucky breaks” theory is simply wrong. You get to make your own luck... The world is run by those who show up…not those who wait to be asked.
Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.
Usually, a model gets two to three seasons, or a year and a half, and that's it - you're done. For me, it will be 10 years.
