I've always been the kid who's known what they wanted to do.
To be an overachiever you have to be an over believer.
Such an executive officer the sun never shone on. I have but to show him my design, and I know that it can be done, it will be done...Straight as the needle to the pole he advanced to the execution of my purpose.
I knew what I wanted to do with my life: I wanted to fight.
There are tough players and nice guys, and I'm a tough player
Nothing of worth or weight can be achieved with half a mind, with a faint heart, and with a lame endeavor.
Without the right attitude, a business with everything going for it will fail.
Definiteness of purpose is the starting point from which one must begin.
A success is one who decided to succeed and worked. A failure is one who decided to succeed and wished.
Going after anything worthwile in life entailed risk, of course. A man of ambition and courage didn't let that stop or delay him. A man accepted the dangers, the element of chance. If he didn't, he won nothing.
It is not enough that our life is an easy one. We must live on the stretch, retiring to our rest like soldiers on the eve of a battle, looking forward to the strenuous sortie of the morrow.
Some lives drift here and there like reeds in a stream, depending on changing currents for their activity. Others are like swimmers knowing the depth of the water. Each stroke helps them onward to a definite objective.
There would be no accumulation of strength inside if the choices that you make did not require disipline and intention.
I'm always dreaming and doing.
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.
I want to be a president and I will not change my thinking.
Above all be of single aim; have a legitimate and useful purpose, and devote yourself unreservedly to it.
You can't just will your dreams to come true. You have to work hard. You have to give 'em wings, arms, legs...whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
Success has to do with deliberate practice. Practice must be focused, determined, and in an environment where there's feedback.
I'm a very direct person and, sometimes, when I want something, I will push it until I get it. But, it's OK. It's not as bad as some people. When I have an idea in my head, I'm pretty stubborn.
My advice to every one expecting to go into business is to hit often and hit hard; in other words, strike with all your might.
That is a big turn-on for me, a director who knows what he's doing and what he wants, and knows when he's gotten what he wants.
When you have a specific vision for something, you just go in and attack it.
I think I work hard. I think I dedicate myself to the game and sacrifice a lot of things at a young age, and I know if I continue to do good, what I can get out of it.
I still say if the ball is there to be won I will go for it, whether with my head or whatever, and if it means us scoring or stopping a goal, I won't think twice.
