阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Success is hardly ever about accidentally “being in theright place at the right time.”___16___Hustle（匆忙）is the most controllable thing that can affect your outcome.
___17___The most important part of determining success is patience. Lacking patience usually prevents people from reaching their goals. People think that only working hard for a specific amount of time guarantees huge results. That’s rarely the case.
Most of the time, you have to play the long game. For example, when I started Wine Library TV, hardly anyone watched it for the first 19 months. Going in, I understood that my videos weren’t going to instantly go viral （传播）. I had to work harder and build my brand first.
In addition to being patient about everything, you need put more work for your goal. That is, you can’t hustle for a day and think you’ll achieve your goal the next day. Not only do you have to work hard, but you have to keep putting in the work.___18___
If you have the desire to want to win big and live your life on your terms, then you have to be willing to put in the time. If your goal is something that you truly want, you can’t give up on it if you don’t see results in the first month.
___19___You should remember that it’s going to take both hard work and patience to get there. Look yourself in the mirror and ask if the time and work you’re putting into your goals realistically supports what you want.___20___If you can keep your hustle and understand that patience will give you the power to make your goals happen, that’s you have a far better chance at succeeding.
A. You have to be honest with yourself.
B. There’s no avoiding it.
C. First work smart, then work hard.
D. There’s no such thing as an “overnight success”.
E. It’s about working hard to position yourself there.
F. In fact, the hard part is maintaining the hustle afterwards.
G. Success doesn’t happen to you; you make it happen.
