Louis Holtz "Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." Malcolm Gladwell "Practice isn't the thing you do once you're good. It's the thing you do that makes you good." Milton Berle "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." Lou Holtz "Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they're making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that's the difference." J. Paul Getty "Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil." |
