The one thing that all these people have in common is their motivation to succeed and through their drive, determination and achievements they inspire and motivate us. But what makes them different? Is it their backgrounds, their families or is it a God-given gift? What drives them even in the face of disappointment and failure? To hear from these people about their experiences and beliefs, what drives them and keeps them focused and determined and how we can emulate them is the best way to learn about how we improve our own performances.
