I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.
LeBron JamesI couldn’t go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.
Ray BradburyIf I could, I would not do anything else. I’d just be in the studio for my whole life. I would never go to parties, events, and red carpets. I would rather just be in the studio for the whole time. I don’t even care. Nobody has to know what I look like. I just want to make music.
Ariana GrandeHonestly, I never really put the mic down.
EminemA vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness.
Mahatma GandhiOver the course of my career in law enforcement, I have witnessed over and over again the selflessness and sacrifice of law enforcement who lay their lives on the line every day to protect people who they will never meet and people who will never know their names.
Kamala HarrisThe only time my records are going to be broken is by my own spawn. I’m going be training that child out the womb.
Conor McGregorA good feeling for me is when you train, and then you put on fresh clothes. New clothes after a training session – you have this rush of endorphins from exercise that everybody gets, and then you get that nice feeling of fresh clothes. It’s a double whammy.
Conor McGregorI want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead.
Oscar WildeI’m committed to the fight game.
Conor McGregorThe Center for Disease Control started out as the malaria war control board based in Atlanta. Partly because the head of Coke had some people out to his plantation, and they got infected with malaria, and partly ‚cause all the military recruits were coming down and having a higher fatality rate from malaria while training than in the field.
Bill GatesProud 2 Pay – that’s something that distinguishes me, that’s something that defines me, and we’re going to keep that going.
Nipsey HussleWhatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.
Martin Luther King, Jr.The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
PlatoWhatever you want to do, do with full passion and work really hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else. There will be a few distractions, but if you can be true to yourself, you will be successful for sure.
Virat KohliI declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.
Queen Elizabeth IINot every difficult and dangerous thing is suitable for training, but only that which is conducive to success in achieving the object of our effort.
EpictetusAs an artist your first loyalty is to your art. Unless this is the case, you’re going to be a second-rate artist.
Margaret AtwoodI have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.
Queen Elizabeth III’d have stopped writing years ago if it were for the money.
Paulo CoelhoI just think people have a lot of fiction. But, you know, I mean, the real story of Facebook is just that we’ve worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.
Mark ZuckerbergA business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.
Henry FordNever at any point did I feel like missing a training session. I was very keen on improving as a cricketer and as an international player.
Virat KohliIt’s all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you’re properly trained.
Queen Elizabeth IIThe mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman’s heart.
Oscar WildeI’m just writing, writing, writing. I keep these tablets on me until I’m inspired to go back in and make the music. I never take a break from my pen, because I pride myself on that.
Kendrick LamarAt some point in time, you definitely have to go drama. Not to say that you’re going drama just because everybody else does it. You do it to challenge yourself. You do it because, naturally, in the profession of acting, you want to show growth. You want to say that you take the craft seriously.
Kevin HartI do the same exercises I did 50 years ago and they still work. I eat the same food I ate 50 years ago and it still works.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.
Jean-Jacques RousseauA lot of blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this career of mine.
Kevin HartA man will turn over half a library to make one book.
Samuel JohnsonI’ve always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, ‚Hi,‘ that the people ought to get their money’s worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.
Marilyn MonroeI can’t make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I’m gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo – you can never get away from it.
RihannaIn order to become prosperous, a person must initially work very hard, so he or she has to sacrifice a lot of leisure time.
Dalai LamaHave convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard as they do.
Eleanor RooseveltFrench fries kill more people than guns and sharks, yet nobody’s afraid of French fries.
Robert KiyosakiIf you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it’s not religion, but you can train through education.
Dalai LamaIt has always been my belief that a man should do his best, regardless of how much he receives for his services, or the number of people he may be serving or the class of people served.
Napoleon HillPeople say ‚I want to be rich‘. The question is, ‚Are you willing to do what it takes?‘
Robert KiyosakiFor me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.
Dwayne JohnsonWhile some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.
Mark ZuckerbergEngineering training deals with the exact sciences. That sort of exactness makes for truth and conscience. It might be good for the world if more men had that sort of mental start in life even if they did not pursue the profession.
Herbert HooverI just was never into performing. It’s just hard work. It’s hard work.
Abby Lee MillerA good boxing competition gives one the sight of fine men in their prime, trained to the ounce, showing the highest skill, pluck and endurance in carrying out their attack and defence under strict rules of fair play and good temper.
Robert Baden-PowellIf you give a person a fish, they’ll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they’ll fish for a lifetime.
Dan QuayleEverybody wants to be famous, but nobody wants to do the work. I live by that. You grind hard so you can play hard. At the end of the day, you put all the work in, and eventually it’ll pay off. It could be in a year, it could be in 30 years. Eventually, your hard work will pay off.
Kevin HartIt was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there’s nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.
Virat KohliPart of my daily regime is my glucosamine and, of course, a multitude of multivitamins. Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, of course protein. I have one protein shake a day, and that is immediately after my training.
Dwayne JohnsonThe joy of doing well as a batsman for your country is much more than that little joy of going for a party and enjoying music. It is a completely different high, and I get high by performances. That’s what I enjoy now.
Virat KohliThe day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.
Sunil ChhetriI have always liked running, so it wasn’t particularly difficult to make it a habit. All you need is a pair of running shoes and you can do it anywhere. It does not require anybody to do it with, and so I found the sport perfectly fits me as a person who tends to be independent and individualistic.
Haruki MurakamiIn my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we’d go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father’s televised service for 17 years.
Joel OsteenWhen I was 25 and I was told to eat 6 pieces of potato every day, someday it would be 8, someday it would be 10. Not that it’s going to make a big difference. But now when I am told by my nutritionist that you get to eat 6 pieces a day, it’s 6. Done!
Sunil ChhetriIt took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today.
Barack ObamaNot a lot of people or pros in this game know how to train correctly. That’s why they don’t have a long career. Their body gets banged up. They get into a rhythm of heavy sparring and heavy work, but through that, they’re limiting movement.
Conor McGregorI’ve learned new footwork patterns that are very unusual. I’ve learned how to find a lower centre of gravity, and I’ve found more angles to throw shots.
Conor McGregorCommitment is an act, not a word.
Jean-Paul SartreIt is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.
Abraham LincolnWhen I was in Portugal I hardly played six-or-seven matches. Although I would train daily to keep my shape. Even then it was really difficult when I came back to get in shape and represent my country.
Sunil ChhetriWhen you’re one of the leaders of the team, there are no days off.
Tom Brady
