You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup. - Wayne Gretzky
You'll never catch me bragging about goals, but I'll talk all you want about my assists. - Wayne Gretzky
Everyone talks about how they knew the Bond films were going to be a success, but it simply isn't true. - Sean Connery
It's an interesting thing to be in your forties and evaluate success and take ownership of some disasters and some pain and try to forgive a little bit - yourself and others. - Uma Thurman
If you look at the success of snowboarding in the Winter Games and how that's brought a more youthful edge to the Olympics in general, they don't have that with the Summer Games. They don't have anything that's drawing in a younger viewership. To be honest, I think they need skateboarding more than we need them. Skateboarding's popularity is solidified for the most part in a lot of countries. - Tony Hawk
My definition of success is doing what you love. I feel many people do things because they feel they have to, and are hesitant to risk following their passion. And obviously, yeah, it's hard right now. But maybe there's a chance that if you get laid off, maybe that's your saving grace, your chance to restart. - Tony Hawk
I was like, 'We're going to get nominated for an Academy Award for this.' I really was, ... I even told him.
It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.
No show would be successful if you took a group of people and just said, 'You're dumb!' over and over. That's not what Broadway's about.
A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.
I would emphasize that by improving your physical machine, which includes the brain, you improve all of your performance, and the transfer is incredible to business.
It is possible to become world-class, enter the top 5% of performers in the world, in almost any subject within 6-12 months, or even 6-12 weeks.
It’s lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for ‘realistic’ goals, paradoxically making them the most time and energy-consuming.
It’s often what you do, not how you do it, that is the determining factor. This is the difference from being effective; doing the right things, and being efficient; doing things well whether they are important.
Never automate something that can be eliminated, and never delegate something that can be automated or streamlined. Otherwise, you waste someone else’s time instead of your own, which now wastes your hard-earned cash.
People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends.
Role models who push us to exceed our limits, physical training that removes our spare tires, and risks that expand our sphere of comfortable action are all examples of eustress – stress that is healthful and the stimulus for growth.
What you do is infinitely more important than how you do it. Efficiency is still important, but is useless unless applied to the right things.
