I was lucky. I grew up knowing that hard work and smart work has a greater impact on results than being passionate about something.
With Nellie, we tried it the other way. Nellie was brilliant for what he did, but for whatever reason, it didn't work. All of our guys want to win a championship, and this is a system they understand and buy into. We've got guys who might not be great defenders, but they work hard at that end. Now, we're more geared to play defense.
I just started a business called HDNet. There never is one area that has a door open to everyone. Try to find an area with something you love to do and do it. It's a lot easier to work hard and prepare when you love what you are doing.
We romanticize entrepreneurshi p so much that people don't do the work. It's not just a dream, not just a goal; it's a lot of hard work. A lot of people are wantrepreneurs, not entrepreneurs.
Don't get caught up in how many hours you work. Judge success based on having goals and measuring your results. Hard work, and lots of it, is certainly needed, but focus on what you get done.
I'm always afraid of failing. It's great motivation to work harder.
There are no shortcuts. You have to work hard, and try to put yourself in a position where if luck strikes, you can see the opportunity and take advantage of it.
We wanted to do something outrageous and original for our fans. Tonight's announcement is going to be hard to top, and I know that our fans appreciate this unbelievable generosity from American Airlines.
Do your homework and know your business better than anyone. Otherwise, someone who knows more and works harder will kick your ass.
Jeff is your typical eccentric genius. He locks himself away for months at a time with no human contact just to come up with great formulas for evaluating sports. It's fun to work with him, and his stuff is amazing.
Johnson's response then: ??I don't know, I don't know.
Kobe is a top-five player, and he proved it yesterday. I've watched Dirk, McGrady and other superstars take over games. When it happens it's amazing to watch.
Just the process of exploring the options has been very difficult.
You don't do that. We love the Cowboys.
