I've found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences.
Life is like a snowball. The important thing is finding wet snow and a really long hill.
I do feel my work has momentum.
Every tournament I play in I fancy my chances of winning, so hopefully I can get through the first few rounds, find a bit of form and kick on.
We need critical mass. We need people, not just one or two. We need a lot of them.
Always build. If you start at fever pitch, there's nowhere to go.
It's great to have a great past and history. But it's even greater to have a good future. So the most important history is the history we make today.
Throughout my career, I've always loved hitting deep shots over the top. A lot of times, those plays just come to you. You don't want to force it.
Let me but make a beginning, let me but strike the world in a vulnerable spot, and I can take it by storm.
For any movement to gain momentum, it must start with a small action. This action becomes multiplied by the masses, and is made tangible when leadership changes course due to the weight of the movement's voice.
Part of how you grapple with intense opposition is by creating real, organic momentum: by actually doing something for people, and then they rightfully buy into it.
When you're that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can't really tell whether you have created the momentum or it's creating you.
They started something here, and the kids are keeping the ball rolling.
Everything happens at one step at a time.
I always think the really unfortunate thing about the Australian film industry is its lack of momentum. And I don't mean this in a derogatory way. I'm always wanting it to pick up momentum, and I'm wondering if that's even possible.
Every one who repeats it adds something to the scandal. [The rolling snow-ball.]
Start moving, a step at a time, step after step. The positive momentum will take you from there.
When you regularly take continuous action toward your most important goals, you activate the Momentum Principle of success. This principle says that although it may take tremendous amounts of energy to overcome inertia and get started initially, it then takes far less energy to keep going.
When I'm playing well because of my serve and trying to keep points shorter, I don't need to worry about my opponent. All I need to do is focus on myself and have them adjust to me rather than me adjust to them. That's when I play my best tennis.
Sometimes you can have a great scene but it just doesn't need to be in the movie. If it's not progressing the plot, not progressing the story, not adding to the momentum, or if it's not purposefully serving a breath - it has got to go.
Momentum and growth are the lifeblood of startups. This is probably in the top three secrets of executing well.
At this point, I'm just grinding through it, trying to establish strikes in the zone with my pitches, using some information the opposition gives me, and kind of moving forward in that regard.
Concluding a trade agreement is like pole-vaulting. Everything must come together at once. After the extensive preparation and the building of momentum, there is that one giant leap—with the hope that the entire body will go over the bar.
I live in the moment. I try to win as many games as I can in any given year. That's what I've always tried to do. But I don't dwell on the past games. That doesn't help you win games now. If that helped win games now, I'd dwell on them.
I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match.
