(I Would like to apologize for my terrible writing skills)

I want to know what it takes to be pro. Is it a huge BR and playing within it? Is it one giant cash? Is it making that crazy good call? Combination of all three? I don't have any of these qualities, and I would love to learn how to make it past the final 18 in a MTT. I seem to freeze up and play much tighter when It starts getting closer to that final table. Sure I have had my "what ifs" but who hasn't? Do people really play within a BR and stick with it? I mean really stick with it.. never at all go above what they should be playing?
