Success is an iceberg — what people see is very different from reality. Most people don't count all the costs successful people have paid overtime (below the surface) to get to what they see (above the surface). ... Just like an iceberg, success has a deep side we rarely see.

We see the success, but not the work that went into it… The unseen hours, necessary failures, setbacks, crises of confidence, the not-now’s (to the countless asks), the loneliness, the late nights and early mornings; and, all the wobbling that comes before the walking.
