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

Don't fear failure, fear being in the same exact same place next year as you are now.

99% of genius comes from hard work, the remaining 1% comes from innate talent

When you make a mistake, take another chance. Only when you choose not to do so do you fail.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. 

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried

There is no elevator to success, you have to take the stairs.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.

Practice makes comfort. Expand your experiences regularly so every stretch won't feel like your first.

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you’ll land among the stars/

Practice like you’ve never won. Perform like you’ve never lost.

Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Don’t be afraid to work hard and find out how good you can really be.

Just stick with it, what seems hard now will one day be your warm up.
