~ Passion requires focused direction, and that direction must come from three other areas: your purpose, your talents, and your needs. ~ ~ It is the child in man that is the source of his uniqueness and creativeness, and the playground is the optimal milieu for the unfolding of his capacities and talents. ~ ~ I put all my genius into my life; I put only my talent into my works. ~ ~ Men fail much oftener from want of perseverance than from want of talent ~ ~ The best players in any high-stakes field - business, entertainment, law, surgery, as well as sport - recognize that pressure occurs at the moments when meaningful accomplishment is possible. In fact, that is the reason why performers perform: for the opportunity to tackle challenges head on, to do something significant, to demonstrate what their hard work and talent can produce ~ ~ The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office ~ ~ We believe that if men have the talent to invent new machines that put men out of work, they have the talent to put those men back to work. ~ ~ The best players in any high-stakes field - business, entertainment, law, surgery, as well as sport - recognize that pressure occurs at the moments when meaningful accomplishment is possible. In fact, that is the reason why performers perform: for the opportunity to tackle challenges head on, to do something significant, to demonstrate what their hard work and talent can produce ~ ~ What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose. ~ ~ If a team is in a positive frame of mind, it will have a good attitude. If it has a good attitude, it will make a commitment to playing the game right. If it plays the game right, it will win—unless, of course, it doesn't have enough talent to win, and no manager can make goose-liver pate out of goose feathers, so why worry? ~ ~ Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. ~ ~ A shot glass of desire is greater than a pitcher of talent. ~ |
