Each moment of my life I was dreaming of how great I could be, and continued working hard. Each time I closed my eyes I could see me shining bright like a sun.
We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make sacrifices that come along with making that decision.
Whatever your life’s work is, do it well.
Any fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.
Success isn’t something you chase. It’s something you have to put forth the effort for constantly. Then maybe it’ll come when you least expect it. Most people don’t understand that.
You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that God’s creative principle works in you.
Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.
Complacency is the last hurdle standing between any team and its potential greatness.
Quality in a service or product is not what you put into it. It is what the client or customer gets out of it.
There is no way around the hard work. Embrace it.
Better to do a little well, than a great deal badly.
Do not lower your goals to the level of your abilities. Instead, raise your abilities to the height of your goals.
Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.
When we deal in generalities, we shall never succeed. When we deal in specifics, we shall rarely have a failure. When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of performance accelerates.
Losers react. Winners anticipate.
Gentlemen, we will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence.
Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.
Do a good job. You don’t have to worry about the money; it will take care of itself. Just do your best work then try to trump it.
If you want to accomplish something, you must first expect it of yourself.
