Much of his success is due to persistence but it wasn't until he met his wife, tennis champion Serena Williams, when his perspective on work ethic changed. Up until then,"I thought I was the hardest-working person on the planet," he tells David Gelles of the New York Times."I thought we were the hardest-working industry. That's what we tell ourselves.
Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion who won the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant, discussed her desire to be the best version of herself with Glamour in an interview last year:"I try to be the best that I can be every day. I have bad days. I had a bad day the other day. I hit for only, like, 30 minutes, and I stormed off the court. But that was the best I could do on that day.
"But in sport, there's a winner and a loser, and you can't delude yourself into thinking there's some other way to compare or measure. You're the best or you're not."Don't miss: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian asks young people, 'Do you really need to go to college?'
