Never Give-Up
“All of us, in a sense, struggle continuously all the time, because we never get what we want. The important thing which I’ve really learned is how do you not give up, because you never succeed in the first attempt.”

Establish your own Identity

He lost his father as well as his uncle and his father’s business partner within a period of 5 months. But he learned the ins and outs of the trade in a very short period of time and ultimately turned the business into a goldmine. Similarly, in poker, you play the game all on your own. There are no friends but competitors once you sit on the game table. You have to create your own game play and identify your own route to success. You can learn from those who have already faced the same situation before but there is no need to stick to what others tell you to do. Stop caring what others think. Let people notice you for your innovating ideas and “never-seen-before” strategies.
Get Outside your comfort zone
“You can achieve big if you dare to dream big”
You must have an unstoppable desire to succeed no matter the cost. There are distractions in the game as well as in life but never let them halt your progress.

Be an action taker and start making efforts to develop the skills and abilities which are necessary to flourish in your game, your profession, and your personal life.
Patience
“It is important to remember, there are no overnight successes. You will need to be dedicated, single-minded, and there is no substitute to hard work.”
As per him, no matter whatever business you are in, there are always bound to be competitors. It is important to develop your own style and create uniqueness in whatever you do. When it comes to gaming, you have to do the exact same thing. You have to build the skills of measuring risk vs reward, money management, emotion control, etc.
The game of cards requires a good level of rational thinking, focus, and decision making abilities. If you think you have it in you, nothing holding you back. Be brave and strong. Start playing poker to showcase your talent on the game tables and carved a name for yourself in the realm of gaming.
