If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.
The idea of having a steady job is appealing.
Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
If you want something, work hard for it, go after it. I can't worry about all the 'no's, because I believe there's a yes, and I've been very fortunate to find those in my career and made the most of those opportunities.
Everyone has complicated lives, but the more you can simplify it and make it work for you, the better it is going to be.
A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.
I do not write for this generation. I am writing for other ages. If this could read me, they would burn my books, the work of my whole life. On the other hand, the generation which interprets these writings will be an educated generation; they will understand me and say: 'Not all were asleep in the nighttime of our grandparents.'
Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.
You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.
It's a shame to call somebody a 'diva' simply because they work harder than everybody else.
Creativity itself doesn't care at all about results - the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless.
Reality is easy. It's deception that's the hard work.
Only true love can fuel the hard work that awaits you.
I have so much chaos in my life, it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong.
You have to have a dream, whether big or small. Then plan well, focus, work hard, and be very determined to achieve your goals.
I mean I don't really think about it. You know, do you know what I often say to myself? I think you're very lucky in life if you know what you want to do.
The eye of the master will do more work than both his hands.
If you're not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I'd rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.
I don't think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you're willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn't work. If you're going to invent, it means you're going to experiment, and if you're going to experiment, you're going to fail, and if you're going to fail, you have to think long term.
I'm just not a guy that loves to eat. I love to work and love to work out. I think I go against all the nutritionists who say you need to do this or need to do that, so I'm one of the oddballs.
People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.
Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out.
I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need.
Bragging about yourself violates norms of modesty and politeness - and if you were really competent, your work would speak for itself.
If you've got the confidence and the work ethic, you can make any dream come true.
Whatever you do, do it with all your might. Work at it, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now.
You can't control injuries, but you can control how hard you work to come back.
I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful, whatever I do.
Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
