To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That’s what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games – nothing like saving the world.

I want you to panic. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act.

My rule is to break one sweat a day.

You can be passionate about anything.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say.

The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern you life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.

Life loves the liver of it.

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.

Alas! You complain that your soul is out of tune. Then ask the Master to tune the heart-strings.

I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine.

If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

Where much is expected from an individual, he may rise to the level of events and make the dream come true.

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‚If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?‘ And whenever the answer has been ‚No‘ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

A man’s worth is no greater than his ambitions.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.

You sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.

My parents were just constantly affirming me in everything that I did. Late at night, I’d wake up and hear my mother talking over my bed, saying, ‚You’re going to do great on this test. You can do anything you want.‘

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

My dad used to have an expression – ‚It is the lucky person who gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows what they are about to do, and thinks it still matters.‘

Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.

No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.

Never be ashamed! There’s some who’ll hold it against you, but they’re not worth bothering with.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Just as food eaten without appetite is a tedious nourishment, so does study without zeal damage the memory by not assimilating what it absorbs.

Not bragging by any means, but I could have done a lot of other stuff as far as working in films go and working in television… I had chances to do that stuff, but I like baseball, I really do.

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.

I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.

The important thing is to be in love with something.

My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.

I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.

When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were – to the very last minute – a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

Whatever you have, you must either use or lose.

Small aim is a crime.

Leaders must be close enough to relate to others, but far enough ahead to motivate them.

If we keep doing what we’re doing, we’re going to keep getting what we’re getting.

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

To be idle is a short road to death and to be diligent is a way of life; foolish people are idle, wise people are diligent.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

If you choose to do something, attack it. You can hate me, but there’s one thing you can’t say about me – that I didn’t attack it.

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.
