Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don't let somebody else dictate your life's path.

The most difficult thing for me is keeping yourself focused on what you're doing. As you go play, you try to get your focus and desire. You don't do it to the level you would do it if you wanted to win. You have to work at it and be on top of your game.
