[Of what it takes to be successful:] Patience, drive and very little fear.

Framed as a concise recipe for success, the line emphasizes three traits that work together: patience (the capacity to endure slow progress and setbacks), drive (sustained ambition and effort), and “very little fear” (a willingness to act despite uncertainty or risk). The phrasing suggests that fear is not eliminated but minimized—kept from dictating decisions. Read this way, success is less about talent or luck than about temperament: staying the course, pushing forward, and not being paralyzed by potential failure. The triad also implies balance: drive without patience can burn out, patience without drive can stagnate, and either can be undermined if fear dominates.
