Love your work, then you will find pleasure in mastering it.
If I don’t practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it.
I’m not a jack of all trades; I’m a master of many. I don’t feel there is anything I can’t do if I want to.
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
First you have to learn to do something, then you can go out and do it.
The mind is incredible. Once you’ve gained mastery over it and channelled its powers positively for your purpose, you can do anything.
In the mind of the beginner, there are many possibilities. In the mind of the expert there are few.
I’ve found in life the more you practice, the better you get. If you want something enough and work hard to get it, your chances of success are greater.
No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.
Self-awareness is a key to self-mastery.
The three things that motivate creative people – autonomy, mastery, purpose!
No matter what your current ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.
A high performer is someone who says, ‘I want to be the best at what I’m doing.’
Nothing worthwhile comes easily. Work, continuous work and hard work, is the only way to accomplish results that last.
If you want to learn a thing, read that. If you want to know a thing, write that; if you want to master a thing, teach that.
Creativity follows mastery, so mastery of skills is the first priority for young talent.
A wise man will be master of his mind, a fool will be its slave.
Excellence demands effort and planned, deliberate practice of increasing difficulty.
Always aim at perfection for only then will you achieve excellence.
Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn’t exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough.
