I learned a lot from not having success, and realizing when you do have success, how hard it is to maintain it, and what you have to do to maintain it.

I threw a lot of balls and walked a lot of batters. Not something I'm proud of, but something I learned from.

Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

People who say they're not nervous - I would be kind of curious to see how successful you are at what you do and how long you've done it. And what is success in your eyes? Have you separated yourself from everyone else in that craft? Or have you settled amongst the pack?

I learned how to cook and do a lot of marital things.

One of the biggest things I learned was that it's OK to be nervous and admit that you're having a hard time.
