A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a person perfected without trials.

Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it.

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs.

Remember why you started, remember where you’re headed, think of how great it will be to get there, and keep going.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.
