Frances Tiafoe Quotes

Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.

I've learned from my experience that desire is 80% of achievement. That if you really, really want something, if you really, really, really want to do something, that the vast majority of achieving it is wanting it. I mean, really wanting it. Not a preference, and not, "Gee, I hope this." I mean really wanting it. It is the desire that makes you do what you have to do to achieve.

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.

Commitment doesn't guarantee success, but lack of commitment guarantees you'll fall far short of your potential.

If you imagine someone with 100 percent determination and 100 percent intelligence, you can discard a lot of intelligence before they stop succeeding. But if you start discarding determination, you very quickly get an ineffectual and perpetual grad student.

What you lack in talent can be made up with desire, hustle and giving 110 percent all the time.

They say love will find a way. I know determination will.

When you want something very dearly, you make the time.

Desire! That's the one secret of every man's career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.

To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.

If I have a reason to do something, and I have enough passion, I generally succeed.
