Dejan Lovren Quotes

Persistence is incredibly important. Persistence proves to the person you're trying to reach that you're passionate about something, that you really want something.

You must be passionate, you must dedicate yourself, and you must be relentless in the pursuit of your goals. If you do, you will be successful.

Grit is that 'extra something' that separates the most successful people from the rest. It's the passion, perseverance, and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality.

Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.

Determination gets you a long way.

The key to all things is determination.

I will not retreat; I will find the strength to reach my goal.

People's passion and dedication can conquer anything.

I became more aggressive, more dedicated, more intense - taking it match by match, night by night - to literally crawl and scratch my way back to the top.

If you really want something bad enough, if you're really interested in something enough, you know, you just keep working on it.

Energy and persistence conquer all things.

I was always fiercely determined and driven to succeed.

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.

Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.

I'm clenched down, I'm locked in on it, which is my general approach to life.

Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don't quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don't quit until you reach it. Never quit.

Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.

Carry on any enterprise as if all future success depended on it.

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.

I've known entrepreneurs who were not great salespeople, or didn't know how to code, or were not particularly charismatic leaders. But I don't know of any entrepreneurs who have achieved any level of success without persistence and determination.

I love the challenge of the game. I love the work. My goal right now is to have a season next year that will make people forget about this one. I'll use things like this for motivation. I'm pumped. I'm hungry.

I think what I bring to the table is a lot of heart, a lot of energy, and somebody that works hard. Somebody who hates to lose.

Commit yourself to a mighty purpose.

Passion is different than desire. People that are successful recognize passion. You have to be willing to work at it. I love the image of pushing a boulder uphill - it will flourish you.
