Being a father helps me be more responsible... you see more things than you've ever seen.
Of course I do have a slight advantage over the rest of you. It helps in a pinch to be able to remind your bride that you gave up a throne for her.

If you succeed with your first dream it helps. You know people trust you possibly for the second one. They give you a chance to play out your second one.
Tennis is all about mental toughness and you have to keep your head in the game. I make time to relax away from competition pressures travel and intense training schedules to make sure I'm looking after myself. Taking time out with family and friends helps to maintain the work-life balance everyone needs.
Being around some of the bright lights of the technology world and having them expect great things helps you sit down and do it seriously.

I think that everything you do helps you to write if you're a writer. Adversity and success both contribute largely to making you what you are. If you don't experience either one of those you're being deprived of something.
America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy.
