I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.
Never at any point did I feel like missing a training session. I was very keen on improving as a cricketer and as an international player.
I was a little nervous at my first match, but I think I did OK. I went home after the match and watched the tape of it over and over. I wanted to do it again.
I think the path for a young writer might be one that says, "I have to accept myself, this is what I am. I can't eradicate my defects. I can work on them."
I want to continue to improve season after season, which I think I've done.
I don't care how long you've been in this league, you always have to be growing and improving.
I'm a competitive player, a fighter, and I always try to improve what I think needs improving.
We may have a perfectly adequate way of doing something, but that does not mean there cannot be a better way. So we set out to find an alternative way. This is the basis of any improvement that is not fault correction or problem solving.
What I'd like to pass on to my children is the thirst for knowledge. It's something I experience every day that I learned from my father. He always taught me that no matter how long you've done something, you can always learn something new and be better at what you do.
If you're not trying to do something better, then you're not focused on the customer and you'll miss the possibility of making your business great.
In racing there are always things you can learn, every single day. There is always space for improvement, and I think that applies to everything in life.
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
There are always things we can improve on, but that is normal in football.
Obviously you have to take it the right way, keep your head down, be humble. But I think if you're in an environment where you're challenging yourself, you're only going to improve. So that's honestly what I tried to do when I went to Europe.
For me, I am not a fan of any of my own matches, and it's both a blessing and a curse. Because I'm never satisfied, I'm always looking to improve in every area.
The chief trick to making good mistakes is not to hide them-especially not from yourself.
I'm always hungry. I can be better always.
There's an old saying that you don't ever finish a movie, you abandon it, and I really believe that. I never walk away from a take and pat myself on the back.
You've got to be harsh on yourself because it is the only way you are going to get better by studying those situations where you may have fallen short.
Even the best team in the world can improve.
We are not trying to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes you have your off days. We have a way of going about things. Basically we are positive people trying to improve players and teams.
Take perfection and throw it out the window. There's always something you can make better or do differently - strive to IMPROVE, not attain the impossible.
My entire mindset is about getting better and growing.
