Q: Is there a recipe for success?

"Q: Sixty million American readers here fascinated by one thing—success. That is the aim of every American. Is there a recipe for it?

"A: ... I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.... 
    "[N]atural feelings are never enough. You have got to marry those natural feelings and tendencies—to marry them with really hard work—but the hard work comes more easily when you are doing things that you want to do ... You must be fundamentally attracted towards it."

~ Margaret Thatcher in a 1986 interview with Parade magazine
