When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you.

Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you no one can take it away.
