Work ethic is important, because, unlike intelligence, athleticism, or charisma, or any natural attribute, it’s a choice.

The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.

Time is your friend, impulse is your enemy.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.

No one starts out on top. You have to work your way up.

The temptation to quit will be the greatest when you are about to succeed

Hard work - a two way street where you get exactly what you put in.

Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.

Procrastination makes easy things hard and hard things harder.

Nothing is impossible if you want it badly enough. Impossible = I'm possible.

If you really want something you’ll find a way. If you don’t you’ll find an excuse.

Try and do one thing each day that you would really rather not do.

Skills are built not born.

Success is the sum of small repeated efforts, day in and day out.

Focus on progress, not perfection. Practise a little bit every day - little and often  Slow and steady wins the race.
