#3 He has worked hard for his success
Starting his career from Sporting followed by successful years at Manchester United, the Real Madrid man has completely modified himself as a professional and made a mark in football.
Ronaldo won his first FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2008 and after coming to the Bernabeu he was being compared to Argentine star Leo Messi in every possible way.
Even after Leo clinched 4 Ballon d'Ors in a row, Ronny never gave up the dream of being the best in the world. His hard work paid off in 2013. Currently, he has 5 Ballon d'Ors to show case.
His seriousness can been seen in practice sessions at the Bernabeu. After a powerful training with his team mates, Cristiano has his personal practice for 4 hours to enhance his skills and improve himself in all aspects.
In one interview he was quoted as saying his key to success is his 100 percent dedication towards work and always believing in himself. He consistently performs at a high level because his preparation is always top notch.
He has made his way to the top by hard work and is a role model to millions the world over.
