Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work.
Intense interest in any subject is indispensable if you’re really going to excel in it.
What I want is to be number one.
You want to be extra rigorous about making the best possible thing you can. Find everything that’s wrong with it and fix it. Seek negative feedback, particularly from friends.
To be the best and stay there, sweat is necessary.
Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.
Set your goals high, and don’t stop till you get there.
We must overcome the notion that we must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre.
The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.
High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.
I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.
Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise
A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.
Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.
Don’t worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.
Aspire greatly; anything less than a commitment to excellence becomes an acceptance of mediocrity.
The future belongs to the competent. It belongs to those who are very, very good at what they do. It does not belong to the well meaning.
Any great achievement is preceded by many difficulties and many lessons; great achievements are not possible without them.
