About the Quote
The best people who can be our role models are those who are where we want to be. If they can end up there, so can we. This is especially true if they come from a backround similar to ours. If they were able to succeed to be where they are, then we can succeed to be where we want to be.
Even if they did something different from us-- for example, we want to be music artists, but they were players in e-sports-- they had acquired the mentality and frame of mind needed in order to go from start to finish in their quest to succeed.
Succesful people, whether by nature or by experience, have a positive mental attitude. They either learned or figured out how to develop their minds so that they focus on what is possible rather than on what is not. While no one escapes from failure, successful people don't let failure define them. They focus on finding ways to keep moving forward.
