Ready to face any uncertainty

Not be a victim of circumstances

Learn to stand up after failure

Accept success with humility, and failure without excuses

Both are a part of life and every living being has to be able to face both with the similar attitude. They have to be treated as normal occurrences, not get into the head, and digress one from the actual motive of life. To motivate oneself on this front is quite difficult, as success very easily becomes the bad master, and failure very swiftly becomes the deterrent.
