No matter your work you have to do the hard detail work if you want to be considered a professional. You have to be meticulous and thorough. You have to think about entire projects, plan things out and work to make it happen. Hoping is fine, dreaming is fine, wishing is fine. But none of those will create your work for you, none will create your destiny. Only work and perseverance will do that.
