There is a British scifi comedy show called Red Dwarf with an episode called Dimension Jump. The story is about how a decision was made in a character's life that creates a parallel universe in which one version of the character becomes a winner at everything in life. The character's name is 'Ace Rimmer'. Everyone loves him and he never gives up, etc. all because refuses to give up.

The video quality isn't the best as it's a rather old show but his introduction is here:

i sometimes like to channel 'Ace Rimmer' as a template for going above and beyond. Like Deadpool saying "Maximum Effort"
