You don’t set out to build a wall. You don't say ‘I’m going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that’s ever been built.’ You don’t start there. You say, ‘I’m going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.’ You do that every single day. And soon you have a wall.
You have to be pretty driven to make it happen. Otherwise, you will just make yourself miserable.
Great work requires great and persistent effort for a long time. Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
Stop being average. You’re not even good. You were born to be great.
Everybody has a dream, but not everybody has a grind.
Monday, I grind. Tuesday, I grind. Wednesday, I grind. Thursday, I grind. Friday, I grind. Saturday, I grind. Sunday, I grind. And, that’s why I’m here today.
You can’t sleep. Broke people sleep. You got to be willing to sacrifice sleep, if you sleep you may miss the opportunity to be successful.
You will never ever be successful, until you turn your pain into greatness, until you allow your pain to push you from where you are to push you to where you need to be. Stop running from your pain and embrace your pain. Your pain is going to be a part of your prize, a part of your product. I challenge you to push yourself.
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.
Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.
The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.
It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things.
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
Confidence and hard work are the best medicines to kill the disease called failure. They will make you a successful person.
Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.
I work hard because I love my work.
You can accomplish virtually anything if you want it badly enough and if you are willing to work long enough and hard enough.
Practice makes perfect. After a long time of practicing, our work will become natural, skillful, swift, and steady.
