I found by deeper breathing, going into the cold, thinking about it, dealing with it; getting the conviction that my ability to breathe deeper is making connections with my body. - Wim Hof
I had a stroll like this in the park with somebody, and I saw the ice and I thought, 'what would happen if I go in there?' I was really attracted to it. I went in, got rid of my clothes. Thirty seconds I was in. Tremendous good feeling when I came out, and since then, I repeated it every day. - Wim Hof
I think of the cold as a noble force. I want to show everyone in this world that the soul is the source of our happiness, strength and health. Love actually comes from the soul, from the light. - Wim Hof
In the cold I centre myself and my breathing to transfer all my heat into the centre of my body. - Wim Hof
The cortex is the enemy. Cold is merciless. It shows you where you are. What you are. I'm able to control the body through just the power of the mind. - Wim Hof
I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you. - Kobe Bryant
I never looked at [basketball] as work. I didn't realize it was work until my first year in the NBA. When I came around, I was surrounded by other professionals and I thought basketball was going to be everything to them and it wasn't. And I was like, 'This is different.' I thought everybody was so obsessive about the game like me. It was like, no? Oh, that's hard work. I get it now. - Kobe Bryant
I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot. - Kobe Bryant
Not even in my dreams. That was something that just happened. It's tough to explain. It's just one of those things. - Kobe Bryant
The beauty of coaching is growing the players from the ground up. That journey continues. - Kobe Bryant
The last time I was intimidated was when I was 6 years old in karate class. I was an orange belt and the instructor ordered me to fight a black belt who was a couple years older and a lot bigger. I was scared s--less. I mean, I was terrified and he kicked my ass. But then I realized he didn't kick my ass as bad as I thought he was going to and that there was nothing really to be afraid of. That was around the time I realized that intimidation didn't really exist if you're in the right frame of mind. - Kobe Bryant
The message was that if you want to win championships, you have to let people focus on what they do best while you focus on what you do best. For me, that was rebounding, running the floor, and blocking shots. - Kobe Bryant
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10. - Kobe Bryant
I believe my business and non-profit investments are much more beneficial to societal well-being than sending more money to Washington. - Charles G. Koch
As an engineer, I understood that the natural world operated according to fixed laws. Through my studies, I came to realize that there were, likewise, laws that govern human wellbeing. It seemed to me that these laws are fundamental not only to the wellbeing of societies, but also to the miniature societies of organizations. Indeed, that is what we found when we began to apply these principles systematically at Koch Industries. Through our observation of how they could create prosperity in an organization, I began to systematize my beliefs into Market-Based Management. - Charles G. Koch
I developed two strong passions. The first was to help build a great company. The second was to identify and understand the principles that lead to prosperity and societal progress. After studying history, economics, philosophy, science psychology and other disciplines, I concluded that the two passions were strongly, indeed intimately related. - Charles G. Koch
