Tom Cruise!

|
I watched Tom Cruise on Actor's Studio a few days ago. For those who don't know, this is a program that takes celebrated actors on a stage and interviews them for a couple of hours. I was very impressed by Tom Cruise. As he told his story, the continual theme in his life was his incredible work ethic, attention to detail, and high standards. When he takes a script, he works with a team to rewrite it over months or years to suit his own vision. The amount of research he does is also incredible; for the Color of Money he played pool for 10-12 hours a day, training with an ex-champion pool player. The player said that by the time the movie was over, Cruise could have probably gone on the pro circuit! What has struck me, is that not just Tom Cruise, but also Barbara Streisand and Kevin Spacey, other successful actors; as well as people like basketball players Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan; football coaches like Andy Reid, Bill Parcells, and Bill Bellicheck, all incredibly successful; and of course musicians like Paco de Lucia, all share this singular drive, an obsession for getting the details right, a perfectionism, and a work ethic most would describe as pathological! These factors are all there, across the board, in all of them! So it seems that the secret to great success, in any field, is right there to see.
