Ambition has no rest!
1st Baron Lytton of Knebworth
I'm an addict. I've been one my whole life. Most of it was channeled in the right direction, whether it was playing basketball or working out. From the time I was little, my mom said I always needed to be entertained.
Trying to get over guys and knock them out, that's what fires me up. Decision victories, whoop dee doo, but finishing guys fires me up.
The mere presence of PASSION within you is all you need to fulfill your DREAMS.
There were times when deep down inside I wanted to win so badly I could actually will it to happen. I think most of my career has been based on desire.
I was very driven, very focused, very ambitious. I mean, when I look back on myself in my 20s, part of me just cringes.
I gave my players a version of the same message at ten-to-three every Saturday: 'I would shoot my granny right now for three points this afternoon.' They knew how important it was to give everything in the cause of victory. Every time. That's why my granny enjoyed more lives than my cat.
There's nothing like desperation to sharpen your sense of focus.
Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire brings a small amount of heat.
There's a storm inside of us. I've heard many team guys speak of this. A burning. A river. A drive.
I think I'm the best fit for characters that have a lot going on inside.
She raced for him, propelled by the strength of a thousand regrets.
I have never gotten a B in my life. I would honestly be mortified if I got a B. I'm so academically driven.
A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.
Yeah, that's been my style to drive as hard as I can.
I want people to perceive me as a guy who wants it. That I play the game with passion and desire. That I'm athletic, that I'm fast, and I'm relentless.
I am very hard on myself. I know the slightest loss of concentration, the slightest mistake will be punished. I try to limit it as much as possible.
When you want a thing deeply, earnestly and intensely, this feeling of desire reinforces your will and arouses in you the determination to work for the desired object. When you have a distinct purpose in view, your work becomes of absorbing interest. You bend your best powers to it; you give it concentrated attention; you think of little else than the realization of this purpose; your will is stimulated into unusual activity, and as a consequence you do your work with an increasing sense of power.
Focused intensity is required to win. I can't stress enough that people who took control of their finances and worked their way out of debt got mad. They got sick and tired of being sick and tired! They said, "I've had it!" and went ballistic to change their lives. There is no intellectual exercise where you can academically work your way into wealth; you have to get fired up - There is no energy in logic; this is behavior and motivation modification, and it works.
