One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.
When I work, I work. I don't think about anything else. I just wanna get the work done. And I'm a perfectionist.
The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
I don't really care what's going on I just care about getting my job done the best that I can possibly do and deal with the other things in my life that take a lot of time and a lot of thought.
I don't think nothing. I just do my work.
I'm spending all my time and energy on the project at hand.
I have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner.
It's irrelevant whether it's a big match or not. It's about focusing on your job at the time. You're still trying to do things as well as you can.
Really focusing on what I have to do right now... no matter what role I'm playing - it alleviates everything around me and makes everything a lot more simple.
Almost religiously, I step away from everything and close my eyes and breathe deeply for a few moments. It helps solidify my focus and aligns everything in my body to take care of the task at hand - which is winning, of course.
When I'm on the field, I just do my job.
Well, I got to have a project. I'm not a blue-sky guy at all. I'd never let anybody like me loose in a company.
I don't care who's on the label, because I have a job to do.
When I played cricket for the West Indies, I never worried. I never really watched anyone else. I had a job to do, and I tried to do it to the best of my ability.
Confidence comes from creating something and knowing what I'm supposed to be doing and feeling like I'm good at what I'm supposed to be doing.
There was plays where I had to do certain things, but I wouldn't even know who caught the ball because I was so focused on getting my job done.
I have something more to do than to feel.
You read the play that's in front of you. You don't try to look back; you don't look forward. You deal with the game that you have in front of you.
A man cannot be a good doctor and keep telephoning his broker between patients nor a good lawyer with his eye on the ticker.
What the Lord wants is that you shall go about the business to which He sets you, not asking for an easy post, nor grumbling at a hard one.
You must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences.
You've got a job to do, and because you've got a job to do, you've got to focus on that, so you don't have time for personal considerations.
I am not thinking that because people say I am great that I really am great. I am just doing a job, just like everybody else. The only difference is that a lot more people see what I do.
Scientists and academics in particular focus on detail and the minutiae. When they talk to each other, they usually don't focus on the broad ideas; they don't focus on social interconnectedness. They focus on the task that they're doing.
There's people who can, like, dive into material for hours and hours and hours and work on one tiny little specific thing without getting bored of it. Learning how to do that was, like, very useful.
