I've always been driven, and I like the creative aspect of figuring things out.
I just kind of do my own thing, which has made me feel like a better player, a better pro because I'm in control of it. I don't have anybody who is pushing me to do something - I'm pushing myself.
I like doing scholarship for its own sake.
I am a very ambitious girl.
I'm self-motivated. I'm motivated for myself to be the best I can be - for me to do that, I have to have my own motivation, my own positive energy.
I'm a very motivated person. I don't need extra motivation.
Somebody who's passionate about life and does their own thing.
It all has to come from inside, though, I guess.
Nobody can dare me to do anything that I don't come up with on my own.
I never had the feeling I ever had to make a dime doing anything.
I enjoy racing because I want to do it. No one's forcing me.
I'm ambitious in everything I do. That is never going to change.
if I'd thought that nobody would like it as I was writing it, I would have written it even more. But I never think of the audience. I never think of people reading. I never think of people, period.
Encourage members of your team to take the initiative and act on their own.
I don't work at something because I think it's important. I work at things that, to me, are interesting.
When you're passionate about your work, it feels like you would do it even if no one were paying you.
Find that thing that you are passionate about, that you will do day or night whether someone pays you or not...because if you have that, you will have gold.
Highly motivated achievers are looking not to receive but to contribute. They are looking for problems that are personally satisfying to solve.
People didn't put pressure on me. I just played for the love of the game.
My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself
Seriously. I'm not playing to prove anything to journalists. I'm playing for myself, for my fans,to make people happy.
I wake up every day in order to do something that's quixotic, and not necessarily called for in the world, but I do it because there's extraordinary meaning for me behind the effort.
I'm not embarrassed to say I want to be successful, but only on my terms.
My parents never pushed me to ski race. It was my choice and something I really wanted to do. I would have rebelled if they had pushed me, and I wouldn't have had the same passion.
Learning was a by-product of her search for pleasure
