Work
(page 6)
The beginning is the most important part of the work.
God has blessed me with an amazing family, friends and work colleagues that have been my joy, my support, and my sanity. I don't know what I'd do without them.
Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen.
Our fatigue is often caused not by work, but by worry, frustration and resentment.
I was always active — I went from baseball to football. I didn't have time to work out.
Sometimes, I pinch myself. Through everything, its about hard work... believing in yourself and in the American dream. Believe that you can make something out of yourself.
When my wife died, I booked myself into the studio just to work, to occupy myself.
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
I relax completely when I'm at rest. I don't think of numbers; I don't think of work.
People don't understand that when I grew up, I was never the most talented. I was never the biggest. I was never the fastest. I certainly was never the strongest. The only thing I had was my work ethic, and that's been what has gotten me this far.
Sometimes comparing can be a good thing: it can inspire us to work harder and reach farther. But for the most part, excessive measuring yourself up against others — especially when it becomes a way to put yourself down — is a colossal waste of time. It's a dead end. It won't make you do anything except feel horrible.
Email, instant messaging, and cell phones give us fabulous communication ability, but because we live and work in our own little worlds, that communication is totally disorganized.
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.
Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.
I work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do.
I've been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.
My work is better, maybe all filmmakers are better, for Polanski's imprint on cinema. He created language for all of us to use, there is no question about that.
Most of my training at graduate school was geared towards drama, so I feel good about it, and I can do it, but it requires a lot more work from me. I feel like with drama... well, with all acting, really, you need to honor the truth of the situation.
'In Search of Excellence' — even the title — is a reminder that business isn't dry, dreary, boring, or by the numbers. Life at work can be cool — and work that's cool isn't confined to Tiger Woods, Yo-Yo Ma, or Tom Hanks. It's available to all of us and any of us.
Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest.
