I believe in the philosophy of staying hungry. If you have a dream and it becomes a reality, don't stay satisfied too long. Make up a new dream and hunt after that one and turn it into a reality.
Every day, you try to get better, and I don't think I'll ever be complacent and happy with where I am, no matter what.
If you think you've already made it, that's when you can fall short and go backwards. I'm constantly pushing forward and chasing the element of perfection.
I don't think you're ever there. You never arrive, but if you do, you might as well quit because you're already there. Can't get any better. And as players, if you ever have that moment - you should never have that moment. You're always trying to get better.
I'm a perfectionist, and I always think that I can do better what I have done, even if it's good.
We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.
May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect.
After you have a big game, you can't just say, 'That's it, I've arrived,' by any means. I'm always pushing it to be better. You always want to be better than you are, no matter what. I think that's important.
The second you think you've arrived, someone passes you. You have to always be in pursuit.
My mother never stagnated in a place where she said, I have it all.
It is not the nature of man, as I see it, ever to be quite satisfied with what he has in life.... Contentment tends to breed laxity, but a healthy discontent keeps us alert to the changing needs of our time.
That's one thing I never wanted to do in basketball is get comfortable.
In my work I think what drives me is perfection. I'm a chronically unsatisfied guy.
I feel like always wanting more... that's how you grow and learn. You can't just be satisfied with where you are. There's so much more to learn and consume.
Be always restless, unsatisfied, unconforming. Whenever a habit becomes convenient, smash it! The greatest sin of all is satisfaction.
Because when you feel that you have arrived, you are dead.
…You don’t want the best of times to be just one thing, forever. You have to have a lot of bests of times, each one topping the last. You know?
