Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
If I learned one thing by playing professional hockey for thirty-two years, it's that you have to love what you do. And that's not just true for sports.
My advice to young women who are looking to be successful; make sure you're passionate about whatever it is that you're doing. And make sure you're fulfilled by the opportunities within your job.
The women I know who have children and have careers, they seem to be very happy. They love their children and they love their jobs. But happiness comes out of being willing to do your work in your twenties to find out who you are, what you love.
I always wanted to be a chef. Flavors and food were always of interest to me, but it was how those things brought friends and family together to celebrate not only the special occasions but everyday life. It has been a blessing that I have been able to pursue a career that creates a product that brings people together.
My career, it's turned out to be something more than I ever thought and more than I ever dreamed. It's been an unbelievable ride. It's amazing.
By and large a good rule for finding out is this: the kind of work God usually calls you to is the kind of work a) that you need most to do and b) the world most needs to have done. If you really get a kick out of your work, you've presumably met requirement a), but if your work is writing TV deodorant commercials, the chances are you've missed requirement b).
When I was playing I never wished I was doing anything else. I think being a professional athlete is the finest thing a man can do.
When I reflect on my career I have no regrets.
I could never have ridden 4,000 winners without loving my job, and If I ever get to the point where I'm not loving it, I'll stop.
It's all so surreal, and I'm living my dream. And you know, principal or not, I'm getting to dance all the roles that I've dreamed of doing.
I never knew anybody who was unhappy with their job and was happy with their life. It's your sense of purpose. Now, some people can find it elsewhere. Some people can work a job and find it some place else.
Make your vocation your vacation. That is the secret to success.
Work is life, you know, and without it, there's nothing but fear and insecurity.
If you fix your sense of self to your job, then you're heading for disaster.
You do a job like mine because you love the job, not because it's going to make you famous.
I think it's important to love what you do and have a good time with it. I go to work every day and have a blast.
I certainly can't complain. I work six days a week, if not seven, and eighteen hours out of twenty-four - fortunately, with a great deal of pleasure. Why? Because I only do something if I want to do it; I need to feel a desire, to find pleasure in moving forward, creating, moving, inventing.
I love being a judge, and I anticipate being a judge for the rest of my life.
When I got this role, my daughter Molly said, 'Dad, you've come full circle.
I can honestly say I am the luckiest man around to be able to have worked at a job I love for so many years. It's truly been a joy for me.
It's been a wonderful career, I couldn't ask for anything more.
Real life is in love, laughter, and work.
I feel very privileged to do what I do, so I'm just going to keep working hard and enjoy every minute of it because it could be over just like that.
I honestly can't ever imagine retiring because I don't know what else I would do - even when I'm on holiday, 70% of the time I'm working. I think I'd like to go out on the job so, ideally, 'And the winner is... Ooooh, and he's gone!'
