Gerard Pique Quotes

I like to tell young people to work hard for your goals and live in the moment.

Even when I play in World Cups, I don't look at things like that. It's something that I want to be doing, so why would I put extra pressure on myself? I'm just going to go out there and enjoy it.

Just because I bought some jewelry and things I've always wished for and always wanted, it doesn't mean I'm not focused. It doesn't mean that I'm not hungry anymore.

I have stopped having goals. If you have many goals, and you don't reach your goals, it is very upsetting, so I just think of keeping it simple, working hard and going and playing the game. But I know there are going to be very important series for Indian cricket. I will just try my best to be in my fittest form.

Always work hard. Intensity clarifies. It creates not only momentum, but also the pressure you need to feel either friction, or fulfillment.

I was so driven that sometimes you don't recognise all the good things that are happening to you.

If you are lucky enough to be successful, you get drawn further in and you stop paying attention to the stuff that matters.

I have had more honors than I've deserved and more rewards than I expected. It can be tempting just to say, 'Well, I'm going to retire.' But what would I do then? Sit in a chair and watch TV? Don't let fulfillment throw away your tomorrow.

Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.

I don't see I'll ever arrive at the point where I'll say, 'Lance old boy, you've arrived at success.' There's no question about it. Once you get to the point where you've arrived at a station called success, you get complacent and lethargic. Those goals you set keep changing. But it's not a ruthless sort of thing.

I always come into these competitions hoping to come away with a gold medal. I won't relax until I have the gold medal around my neck.

I want to be more than the heavyweight champion. I want to do great things.

I just want to finish my career the right way - some winning and some successful years.

Looking back and thinking about the past and what I've done makes no sense - I'd like to keep achieving things. Then, when I retire, I will appreciate everything that's happened and everything I've achieved.

There's a great quote from Henry Kissinger, which I became aware of from reading [Joseph] Heller's Good As Gold. He said: 'Every great achievement was a dream before it became a reality.'

Good things happen when you get your priorities straight.

Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don't settle for them.

Fundamentally, I like to accomplish things.

What keeps me going is goals.

I want that fifth championship. If that does not present itself, then I'm closer to retirement.

It's been really good to have a goal and go after it. That feels good.

Goals help you channel your energy into action.

If we fix a goal and work towards it, then we are never just passing time.

Getting to the top isn't bad, and it's probably best done as an afterthought.

Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality.
