I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
Basketball is a lifelong game. You continue to learn from the game day in and day out, and all along the way, you get better.
Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death.
I have many years to get better and better, and that has to be my ambition. The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
If I am through learning, I am through.
Children, in a way, are constant learners. Certainly sponge-like. Absorbing everything without careful analysis, even though, at the same time, they are certainly capable of incredible insights.
Develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser every day.
I believe that the habit of constant reading of good books and scholarly periodicals and magazines in many disciplines is vital to give a larger perspective and to constantly sense the interdependent nature of life.
The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
When I was a kid in the business, you always had in the back of your head this feeling that if I screw up, I might be fired. So you went out every night and tore your rear end up to make sure that you gave the best performance you can and learning constantly because you never had that idea of 'I'm so great, I'm never going to be fired.'
Nothing is given to you. Everything is earned. You have to have that mindset that you have to work every single day. Learn every single day.
Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning.
I just want to keep improving in every game.
I need to build to get better each and every day, so I'm not satisfied at all.
I'm in constant pursuit of growing and evolving.
Improving, for me, is quite natural as I'm always critical of myself.
We have to live today by what truth we can get today and be ready tomorrow to call it falsehood.

It's about being a better player today than you were yesterday.
I was working as hard as a human being could work. That tempo hasn't changed. I just have more diversity and more companies, and now I've got 33 companies so my dance card is full. Four kids and three grandkids, but I love that passionate lifestyle. I love constantly growing, I love seeing and feeling that you can have an impact. And gradually it went from just coaching to actually running businesses because I've had experiences that were life changing.
There's always room for improvement. That's my mindset.
There is no time to cease learning. Only after you have closed the lid on the coffin does learning cease.
I keep learning from my mistakes, and I take advice from my seniors, and the aim is to be the best in the world across all formats.
You evolve with each and every film you do. In every film that I did, I learnt something or the other, and I am constantly learning and hopefully becoming better.
It is our duty to try to be perfect, … to improve each day, and look upon our course last week and do things better this week; do things better today than we did them yesterday
