No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed. In fact, in studying the source of people's success, I've found that persistence overshadows even talent as the most valued and effective resource in creating and shaping the quality of life. Most people give up a maddening five feet from their goal!
Push yourself to keep improving or you'll stay as close to the bottom as you are to the top
Stay the course. When thwarted try again; harder; smarter. Persevere relentlessly.
I'll be relentless in my efforts to be great, but I'm realistic. I know I can't be perfect because I've seen it. But at the same time, nobody wants to fail, nobody wants to fail.

If you keep your nose to the grindstone, you don't have any nose.
If you bleed Black Label and you're going to be a man, you gotta get up there and do what you gotta do every day, relentless and as tired as you can be.
You fight and fight. Get every ball back, run every ball down and never, ever doubt.
When you relentlessly work, you gradually get accepted.
Hard work certainly goes a long way. These days a lot of people work hard, so you have to make sure you work even harder and really dedicate yourself to what you are doing and setting out to achieve.
Creating success is tough. But keeping it is tougher. You have to keep producing, you can't ever stop.
