#effort

Every great achievement starts with a decision to try.

The most successful people are not the ones who are the most talented.

Hard work is important, but so is the right kind of hard work.

You can’t just wish for a better life; you must work for it.

If you don’t produce, you won’t thrive—no matter how skilled or talented you are.

Our potential is one thing. What we do with it is quite another.

It is the people who make a machine work, not the machine itself.

You can’t just think your way into being gritty.

Effort counts twice.

You’re never going to reach your potential if you don’t put the work in.

I learned that you can’t take shortcuts; you have to put in the work.

Success requires a level of commitment that many are not willing to give.

There is no substitute for hard work.

Mastery requires both time and effort focused on the right activities.

I learned that the greatest victories come from the smallest efforts.

You have to be willing to put in the work.

Just because you have talent doesn’t mean you will be successful.

Talent is not a gift. It's a skill.

The key to achieving greatness is not talent but deliberate practice.

No man ever wetted clay and then left it, as if there would be bricks by chance and fortune.

Embrace the grind; it’s where growth happens.

Knowledge can be obtained only by intellectual effort.

Strength is built over time through dedicated effort.

Effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.

Running is a metaphor for life; the more you put in, the more you get out.

It’s not supposed to be easy. Anyone who finds it easy is stupid.

The hallmark of a growth mindset is that it is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through your efforts.

You are worth the effort it takes to care for yourself.

You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your effort.

Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better?

To be happy, we must not be so. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort.

It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.

You can’t just show up and expect results.

Without effort, your talent is nothing more than unmet potential.

You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your effort.

You can’t just show up and expect to be great.

To be successful, you must be willing to work hard and be disciplined.

You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your effort.

Deliberate practice requires focused attention and effort.

Motivation is vital for sustaining the effort required for purposeful practice.

You must be willing to do what it takes to win.

The price of success is hard work.

Effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.

The smell of success is often tinged with the scent of hard work.

I want to be remembered as someone who tried.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.

The secret of talent is a matter of how much energy you put into it.

A record is not just a number; it’s the culmination of countless hours of effort.

Winners are not afraid of losing; they are afraid of not trying.
