Sir Patrick Stewart began his pathway toward theatrical stardom when his acting teacher said his strategy would never lead him to success. The strategy? Ensuring against failure.

It wasn’t until he was pushed by that acting teacher that he understood his recipe for success was really a recipe for mediocrity.
