"You may have a propensity toward being a good designer, but I believe that “talent” is the result of a lucky combination of motivation, inspiration, hard work, confidence, luck, self-belief, assertiveness, diplomacy, imagination, logic, practicality, and passion. It’s clearly true that some people have a good eye or a more fertile imagination than others, but it is essential that these gifts are combined with other qualities to become a true success."
