Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

No matter how good you think you are as a leader, my goodness, the people around you will have all kinds of ideas for how you can get better. So for me, the most fundamental thing about leadership is to have the humility to continue to get feedback and to try to get better — because your job is to try to help everybody else get better.
Do what you say you're going to do. And try to do it a little better than you said you would.

Champions are not the ones who always win races — champions are the ones who get out there and try. And try harder the next time. And even harder the next time. 'Champion' is a state of mind.

When I write a goal down — and I truly write them down — it becomes a part of me. That's a contract that I sign with myself to say, 'I don't care what happens — I'm going to stay on this path. I'm going to try and see this through; I'm going to give it my best shot, my best effort'.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

I don't write on topics that require a lot of urgency. But in 'Stiff', I wanted to change people's hearts about organ donation. Whenever I get a chance, I try to talk about that.
