I simply don't accept losing well. I just feel whatever it takes to win, you have to do it.
I'm trying to be among the elite night after night, year after year. I just want to be the best ... and I love winning.
The first half of Vietnam was fought to win the war, and the second half of Vietnam was soldiers going haywire without a mission, getting further and further towards our friend, Captain Kurtz and our friends at 'Apocalypse Now.'
One night I'm going to have a big night scoring; some nights I'm going to have a big night doing other things. Just doing whatever it takes to win the ballgame, not necessarily sitting up here worrying about scoring 30 points.
As long as we win games and I harass the quarterback, however I do it, we're good.
Public opinion wins wars.
I had no coaching. I came out of the world of pro wrestling. In that job there are no agents, no publicists, no media training. It's just you and the crowd, and you have to be real to win them over. And if you don't, you're not gonna eat. And that's it.
TV is easier: it's all planned out for you, and the audience is there to see a show and they are all pumped up, but when you are in a comedy club, you have to be really funny to win them over. To me, that's more pure.
There's a game called Checkout where there's grocery items and it's how much you think the manufacturer's suggested retail price is and we add up your total, then your total has to be within $2 of the regular total. I don't think I could ever win that game.
I know I can go out there and play much better than I did yesterday. But to come out with a win is key.
When you wake up, think about winning the day. Don't worry about a week or a month from now -- just think about one day at a time.
I'm okay with the idea that slow and steady wins the race.
It's about finding what's next. I'm hesitant to let people know what producers I'm f---ing with, what I'm rapping about. I'd rather drop that winning hand out of nowhere.
Fame you'll be famous, as famous as can be, with everyone watching you win on TV, Except when they don't because sometimes they won't.
Fantasy sports went a long way toward developing the sabermetrics formulas used not only by oddsmakers but general managers in hiring players. So the amateur fantasists ended up creating some of the algorithms that Oakland GM Billy Bean's statisticians used to win games with less salary money available for star players.
Global warming, you don't win it. It's this weird steady-state issue that's going to be with us for a few thousand years.
If life is a video game, then most of us have no chance of winning, if by winning you mean succeeding in a quest or saving a princess.
Question: If there were two of you which one would win?
Learning to celebrate success is a key component of learning how to win in the market.
Any game is important to me. At Boston College, when I went out for the spring games, I wanted to win. Maybe it is more important than other preseason games. It's just that everyone is expecting a lot from me in my first week of professional football. I want to confirm my expectations.
We've got to get our fans back. We've got to start winning and get our fans excited about the 76ers again... We're selling hope. This is about hope. We have hope that we have a chance to be good.
Tom Cruise shouldn't try to win Oscars. He should just smile and kick people in the face and leave the acting to Hugh Jackman. Why Hugh Jackman? I dunno; come up with your own example, smart-ass.
The making of miracles to edification was as ardently admired by pious Victorians as it was sternly discouraged by Jesus of Nazareth. Not that the Victorians were unique in this respect. Modern writers also indulge in edifying miracles though they generally prefer to use them to procure unhappy endings, by which piece of thaumaturgy they win the title of realists.
I'm not looking to write the great American novel, win a Pulitzer or teach history. I write to entertain my readers.
When you are an historian, there's probably nothing that matters more than to be recognized by your colleagues in your own profession. I was lucky enough to win the Pulitzer Prize for History. I had to give a talk right after that to some young people. The most important thing to tell them, I think, is that you can't ever know that it's going to turn out that way.
