You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that’s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.

The investor of today does not profit from yesterday’s growth.

If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.

Well, I mean, to me, I think my ultimate – my ultimate goal is winning championships and – and I understand that me going down as one of the greats will not happen until I, you know, win a championship.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

When I’m in my 50s, I kind of think I’ll want to be in a garden.

If you were to ask me what I want to do – I don’t want to be a celebrity, I want to make a difference.

I have short goals – to get better every day, to help my teammates every day – but my only ultimate goal is to win an NBA championship. It’s all that matters. I dream about it. I dream about it all the time, how it would look, how it would feel. It would be so amazing.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.

I always wanted a family.

A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.

The truth is, I had always wanted to be a comedian, but I really didn’t have that kind of personality, and it’s a terrifying thing to say.

Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be in combat.

I am a lucky man. I have had a dream and it has come true, and that is not a thing that happens often to men.

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.

One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.

Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.

Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not.

The more centuries that I am able to score, the happier I will be.

Dream and you shall become.

I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do ever – was write novels.

I don’t want to be an action star, an action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

I never expected anyone to take care of me, but in my wildest dreams and juvenile yearnings, I wanted the house with the picket fence from June Allyson movies. I knew that was yearning like one yearns to fly.

When I see myself as an old woman, I just think about being happy. And hopefully, I’ll still be fly.

Plenty of people wish to become devout, but no one wishes to be humble.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

We will naturally pursue our goals on the strength of our own resources, skills and enterprise. But, we know that we will be more successful when we do this in partnership with the world.

To be free is to have achieved your life.

It 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.

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.

Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends; we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Life contains but two tragedies. One is not to get your heart’s desire; the other is to get it.

There are people in the world who have skills and strength and talent that I will never have. Never. These notions that you can ‚be whatever you want to be as long as you want it bad enough‘ are not true. They are fairy tales.

Live the life you’ve dreamed.

Do all you can to make your dreams come true.

I’m trying to construct a world that maximises the probability that SpaceX continues its mission without me.

It’s every girl’s dream to be a cover girl!

I used to always sit in church looking out the windows at the boys, wondering if I could make an excuse to go out and, you know, go to the bathroom because all the outdoor toilets. But anyhow, I was only going out to see the boys.

I’ve noticed a terrible thing, which is I will agree to anything if it’s far enough in the future.

He who could foresee affairs three days in advance would be rich for thousands of years.

I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.

I have goals.

My drive is other people’s success.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

We’re all dreamers.

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

It’s when children are 15, 16 or 17 that they decide whether they want to be a doctor, an engineer, a politician or go to the Mars or moon. That is the time they start having a dream, and that’s the time you can work on them. You can help them shape their dreams.

We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.

I don’t want to be an action star; action star’s life is so short. I want my life to get longer. I want my career to get longer.

You have to dream before your dreams can come true.

The average Hollywood film star’s ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

When I’m in management meetings when we’re deciding my future, those decisions are left up to me. I’m the one who has to go out and fulfill all these obligations, so I should be able to choose which ones I do or not. That’s the part of my life where I feel most in control.

I’m looking forward to becoming a marvelous – excuse the word marvelous – character actress. like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.

I was sure I’d set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth – that I hadn’t set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if ‚The Big Trail‘ had been a success and launched me as a star.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It’s ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you.

When we see the face of a child, we think of the future. We think of their dreams about what they might become, and what they might accomplish.
