I'm not an overnight sensation. I'm a Texan. And I'm a Texas success story. I am the epitome of hard work and optimism.

Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.

I am proud of where I came from, and I am proud of what I've been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn't walked a day in my shoes.

There's no escalators - there's only staircases to success. There is no substitute for hard work.

Focused, hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal, and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better.

Working hard and succeeding will make you feel valuable and important - thus the cornerstones of a confident personality is you, yourself.
