If you want something you can have it, but you have to do some work. It's the ethic my mother brought me up with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Work will take everything you give it. It's up to you to work out what you want to give it.
Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.
In economic terms, we've always thought of work as a disutility - as something you do to get something else. Now it's increasingly a utility - something that's valuable and worthy in its own right.
If you tell me I can't have something then that just makes me want it more.
I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.
You can have anything in this world you want, if you want it badly enough and you're willing to pay the price.
If you're not getting work, make your own work. I think that's a good mentality. I suppose I take my drive from my mother and my practicality from my father.
At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.
I don't have to work just to work anymore. More interesting parts come my way, so I can afford to say, 'I don't want to make that.'
My father really told me, seriously, if you want something, you can have it, but you may have to work harder than anyone else around you.
