There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do - and I believe that.
From Derek Jeter
I'm not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
When you put a lot of hard work into one goal and you achieve it, that's a really good feeling.
You don't just accidentally show up in the World Series.
We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present.
My dreams do not end with playing Major League Baseball.
Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person.
If you're going to play at all, you're out to win. Baseball, board games, playing Jeopardy, I hate to lose.
You're a person a lot longer before and after you're a professional athlete. People always say to me, 'Your image is this, your image is that.' Your image isn't your character. Character is what you are as a person. That's what I worry about.
I'd like to get a degree. You ever see the movie 'Back to School?' I'll go back with my kids.
